among various vehicles, vendor booths and fun, active activities.
Children get to put their imagination in gear and go! Kids have the opportunity to get
behind the wheel and rub elbows with their hometown heroes, climb on and explore their
favorite vehicles, including big rigs, fire engines, police cars, construction trucks, tractors
and much more. The highlight and fan favorite of the event is the arrival of the Flight for
Life helicopter! This affordable event ($5 entry fee) raises money to support community
programs, while also being a community impact event.
