What is DOZER DAY?
Dozer Day is like a fair without the large expense. For rides, the kids hop in the driver's seat and actually drive big yellow dozers, dump trucks and other heavy equipment 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 is also a fundraiser benefiting local children's charities.
What can the whole family do at Dozer Day?
Dozer Day is a fun event for the entire family. For grown-ups, the diamond dig, tool dig and operating equipment is popular, along with a picnic in the park and KUPL live on site. For kids of all ages, Radio Disney, riding all kinds of equipment, digging for treasures, tire and pipe crawls and collecting stickers for the hard hats are top choices. Families can also look and climb over a collection of antique equipment, watch how curbs are made or even watch a concrete pumper in action. Adults may also participate in the Dozer Rodeo. A Big Hauler takes visitors around the entire site. Washington State Patrol, local fire departments, S.W.A.T. and Waste Connections are also great fun.
