On Saturday, September 6th, kids will get the experience of a lifetime . . . a chance to ride and operate heavy construction equipment! The event runs from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington.

In 20 years, more than 12,000 kids have attended this one-of-a-kind event here in Illinois! On this day, the kids will be in the driver's seat and actually drive dozers, excavators, and other heavy equipment with a professional operator at their side.

Additional farming, construction, trucking, and Emergency vehicles will be on exhibit, plus the world's largest sandbox and other kid friendly activities. Food, refreshments, and souvenirs will be available. It's a great day for good dirty fun!
