Lakewood Early Childhood PTA's 6th Annual Meet the Trucks!
Do you have a little ambulance chaser in your home? An aspiring refuse collector? Have you ever wanted to get an up-close look inside a SWAT vehicle? If so, the upcoming 6th Annual Meet the Trucks event, presented by Lakewood Early Childhood PTA (LECPTA) and the City of Lakewood, will once again be THE not-to-be-missed event of the spring!
From 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 4th, 2011 at Lakewood Park, you can come meet the fleet that keeps the city running! The whole crew will be there, including an ambulance, fire department ladder truck, police cruiser & motorcycle, dump truck, SWAT team vehicle, aerial truck, garbage truck, Metroparks Eco Explorers Traveling Bus, snow plow, and street cleaner.
This is a hands-on, family event – kids (and grown ups too!) can touch, explore, and honk the horns of these mighty machines. Are trucks not your thing? Don't despair! This event has something for everyone: face painting, crafts, a balloon twister, a DJ, bounce houses, raffles and numerous exhibitions. Jungle Bob will be performing two shows, the first at 11:00 am and the second show at 12:30 pm. Free popcorn and bagels will be available (while supplies last) and hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, pizza, drinks, and snow cones will be available to purchase.
But wait! There’s more! Satisfy your inner altruist by making and decorating toiletry bags to benefit the North Coast Health Ministry. The Lakewood Early Childhood PTA will also be collecting canned goods for Lakewood Christian Service Center, so clear out your pantry and help others in need. In addition, representatives from the Lakewood Public Library and the Department of Recreation will be there to tell you all about the many great activities our city has to offer.
Worried about parking at this always popular event? Go green and ride your bicycle! Lakewood's own Spin Bike Shop will be offering FREE bike repairs! Speaking of free, did we mention that Meet the Trucks is a FREE event, thanks to the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA and our generous sponsors. So bring the whole family - it's FREE!
