(6/5/23) The Anoka-Hennepin Schools Preschool and Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) Parent Advisory Council hosted a Vehicle Day on Saturday, June 3, at Champlin Park High School. An estimated 1,000 people attended the popular event which allowed young children from across the school district to explore a variety of different vehicles and meet the people who drive them.

More than 25 local businesses, organizations, and public service vehicles were onsite, including fire trucks, police cars, snowplows, street sweepers, tow trucks, buses, dump trucks, semi-truck trailers, and an ice cream truck. Children were able to climb into the driver's seat and learn about each of the vehicles.

“It's such a great event,” said Tricia Weber, manager of early learning programs.  “Families are able to connect with people in our community, while their children are exploring the world around them.”

Organizers say they'll be back with more fun in 2024! If you have a vehicle and are interested in being part of the day, fill out an interest form.
