The Erie County Department of Public Works, in conjunction with the Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry is getting ready for “DPW Day” at Ellicott Creek Park this Saturday, May 18 from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM. DPW Day is a popular and free family event that gives kids, families, and people of all ages an up-close chance to see, touch and learn about the trucks and heavy equipment that work in our community every day but are usually only seen from afar. The event kicks off with a special “Quiet Hour” from 11 - 12 for children and individuals who are sensitive to loud noises.
Over two dozen heavy duty vehicles of various types will be on site for DPW Day, including plows, grapple trucks, bucket trucks, skid steers, Gradalls, service trucks and loaders, Vactors, street sweepers, low boy tractor trailers, and more. Food trucks providing refreshments for sale include the Cheesy Chick and Fat Bob’s while Outlaw Popcorn will also be at DPW Day.
“DPW Day is a lot of fun and is a great opportunity for children who love big trucks to get up close to them, climb on them and see what they’re all about,” said Commissioner of Public Works Bill Geary. “There will be all sorts of vehicles on hand and food trucks too so we encourage families to come out and enjoy a day with big trucks at Ellicott Creek Park.”
People needing reasonable accommodation should contact (716)858-4991.
