There’s a basic underlying principle behind an event this weekend that’s applicable to all ages, from children to seniors: trucks are cool.

The city is bringing its vehicle fleet out to Chinquapin Park (3210 King Street) for Tons of Trucks 2023 on Saturday, Sept. 9, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

The event will give vehicle enthusiasts a chance to get behind the wheel of a fire truck, police car, DASH bus and more. Tons of Trucks also serves as a meet and greet for the people who work with those vehicles.

Tickets to attend are $5 per person.
