THANK YOU
25 Big Trucks. 14 Partner Displays. Dozens of Volunteers and Sponsors.
Record heat, and scores of visitors learning about public works!
Our First Public Works Celebration. May 21, 2022 was a marvelous success, and we are already making plans for next year!
But the super-fun day could not have happened without the participation of so many partners and individuals. Volunteers, truck drivers, booth staff and pump station operators sweltered and smiled and helped visitors learn how important public works are every day.
And it is thanks to you that a) public works keep us all moving! and b) that our celebration was such a success.
THANK YOU ALL!!!
