🚨 BOY MOMS… WE KNOW WHERE YOU’LL BE SEPTEMBER 26. 🚨

If your kid can hear a garbage truck from 3 blocks away…
If “LOOK AT THAT TRUCK!” is said approximately 47 times a day…
If Dad somehow knows the make, model, AND horsepower of every piece of equipment on the road… THIS ONE’S FOR YOU.

As part of our Fall Festival & Market, we’re bringing in a TOUCH-A-TRUCK AREA!

Come get up close with some BIG trucks, cool equipment, and vehicles that are way more exciting than anything sitting in your driveway. And don’t worry… the trucks are only ONE part of the fun!

Kids Zone, Music, Farmers Market, Local Businesses, Food Trucks…and more!

đź“… Saturday, September 26
⏰ 10 AM–1 PM
đź“Ť Aaron Bessant Park
🎟️ FREE FAMILY FUN!

So grab your little truck enthusiast, your truck-loving friend, your dad who “just wants to look,” and come make a morning of it.

Because apparently, seeing a giant truck in person never gets old.
