Playing with the Big Toys.
The ever popular Annual Dozer Days event, presented by the Nutter Foundation, will take place Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20, 2012, between 11 am and 4 pm at the Cemex/Fisher Quarry (just off Highway 14 at the 192nd Ave Exit).
Dozer Days is Vancouver’s Construction Theme Park, where kids are encouraged to go play in the dirt with some toys. Only these toys are the big yellow dozers, dump trucks, backhoes, and other heavy equipment kids are usually told to stay away from. But not during Dozer Days, where kids get to hop in the driver’s seat and actually drive those big rigs (with a professional operator at their side). Not only is it a dream come true for kids (and fun for the whole family), the event also benefits many local, children’s charities.
“Dozer Day is an exciting event for the entire family. The fun begins with a ride into the event on a gigantic articulated hauler. Kids of all ages enjoy riding every kind of heavy equipment, digging for treasures, tire/pipe crawls and collecting stickers for their hard hats. Grown-ups’ favorites include: digging for real diamonds and competing for bragging rights at the equipment rodeo just to name a few.” ~Dozer Day
