One of the biggest family fun days of the year is coming up Saturday, August 26th … it’s the 2017 Day of the Dozer!
This amazing one-of-kind event is in its 14th year and gives kids the chance to get behind the controls of dozers, excavators, and other heavy equipment with the safety of a professional operator right beside them.
There will also be additional farming, construction and Emergency vehicles on display for the kids to check out.
The kids will also be able to have fun in the world’s largest sandbox!
There will be food, refreshments and souvenirs available at the event.
The 2017 Day of The Dozer will run from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm Saturday, August 26th at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Illinois.
Cost is $5 in advance, and $7 at the gate the day of for kids. The admission includes a souvenir ‘Hard hat’ for the kids to take home.
Purchase tickets in advance at: Hy-Vee Bloomington, The School Shop, and Stark Excavating. (Tickets not required for adults.)
Proceeds will benefit the “Stay 4” Project®; a local initiative designed to address the high school drop-out crisis, and help low income students that demonstrate the ability to succeed, yet are at risk for dropping out.
