Big Truck and Tractor Rally

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday… Here’s one for the gear-heads, automotive groups, and big kid in all of us. Talk to a local contractor or heavy equipment rental facility. Have them bring down some large equipment, such as an earth mover, excavator, or bulldozer. Call the local fire department and get a fire truck, ambulance, or hook and ladder. You can charge admission to the rally. A concession stand is an absolute must. You can rent a “ride-on” model train for little kids and charge per ride. You can charge for bucket rides in the hook and ladder fire truck, a family favorite. An absolute must for any weekend warrior type, you can charge for ambulance rides that don’t end up at the local emergency room! Add a classic car show for additional excitement for the whole family. You can set up a do-it-yourself clinic where certified operators can show the big kids how the machinery works. Then you can have “races” to complete goals, such as moving a dirt pile from one location to another. Charge a nominal fee, and offer midway style prizes. Don’t forget to sell branded hardhats for the little ones!
