What could be better than a day filled with trucks and fun for the family?
The 2014 SMILE ON DOWN SYNDROME TRUCKS & HEROES will be an opportunity for
young and old alike to come check out some of the Tri-State area’s biggest and most fun trucks and working vehicles. It will also be an opportunity for the young and young at heart to meet up close some of our area’s finest police, fire, medical, and military heroes.
The event is FREE to attend, but the organizers will accept non-perishable food items that will help stock the food pantry at Patchwork Central. So, clean out those pantries and enjoy a day the kids will love!
