Get ready to rev up some excitement in Woodbury as the M Health Fairview Sports Center parking lot transforms into a massive showcase of big rigs for the community's 14th annual Big Truck Day, coming up on Saturday, Sept. 28. An announcement on the City of Woodbury's website invites families to explore, climb, and learn about an array of vehicles, including ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, with events running from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The event celebrates the grandeur of these mechanical beasts in a family-friendly atmosphere.
For those looking for a quieter experience, the event will kick off with a 'sensory hour' from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. – a thoughtful initiative allowing attendees sensitive to loud noises to enjoy the display without the usual fanfare of blaring sirens and honking horns. As the day progresses, visitors can expect the volume to rise, along with the excitement. Aside from emergency vehicles, the assortment of trucks promised to grace the Red Fields parking lot at 4125 Radio Drive includes a snowplow, a school bus, and even an ice cream truck, among others.
Adding to the day's festivities, the Teddy Bear Band will offer a live soundtrack to the truck exploration, performing hits likely to resonate with the little ones from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. To nurture community spirit and foster educational interactions with these colossal machines, this free-to-attend event is made possible through a collaboration with Woodbury Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Public Safety, and the Washington County Library.
Families are encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity to turn a child's fascination with big trucks into a hands-on learning experience. Whether it's understanding the complexities of a tow truck, or the important community roles of a garbage truck, this event seems poised to deliver an informative outing wrapped in fun.
