Dozer Day is actually two days of activities at the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds, with children getting behind the wheel of bulldozers and more, with adult supervision
A Clark County tradition continues this weekend with the return of the excavators, tractors, bulldozers and more, all ready for youngsters to maneuver.
(With adult supervision, of course!)
Dozer Day is the official title, but many call it Dozer Days because it is two days of action at the Clark County Event Center, this Saturday and Sunday Oct. 5-6..
Dozer Day is an immersive experience with the opportunity to get behind the wheel of some of the largest machines in the construction industry. It also is an opportunity to connect with employers and learn about careers in the industry.
Children less than 48 inches tall can hop into heavy construction equipment and operate machines guided by in-cab, experienced equipment operators.
Teens and adults, or children taller than 48 inches, will have opportunities to operate machines solo. An experienced operator will be nearby to instruct, ensure safe operation, and answer equipment-related questions.
In addition to the big rigs, there will be activities for all ages, such as the popular tire crawl, the kids’ dig, skills contests, and giveaways. There are also food vendors on site.
Many of the sponsors of Dozer Day are actively recruiting for open positions in their companies. Attending Dozer Day allows one to inquire directly with companies that understand the importance of investing in their community and employees.
Also, this year, there is a book launch.
Sammi Nutter Charlton has authored a children’s book, called Dozer Day Pave the Way. Get a signed copy of the book by purchasing it on site or for being one of the first 250 people to properly solve the Scavenger Hunter.
Oh, and be on the lookout for the new mascot of Dozer Day. The name? Dozer Dan the Mullet Man.
Tickets are $15 a person if purchased online before Oct. 5. Tickets are $20 on Oct. 5 and Oct. 6. Dozer Day is an event that raises money for local charities. To buy tickets, and for more information on Dozer Day, go to: https://vancouver.dozerday.org/
