In it’s 20th Year ‘Illinois Day of the Dozer’ Still Giving Kids the Ultimate Ride!

On Saturday, September 7th, kids will get the experience of a lifetime . . . a chance to see, ride, and drive heavy construction equipment! The event runs from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, IL.
In its 19 years, more than 15,000 kids have attended this one-of-a-kind event! On this day, the kids will be in the driver’s seat and operate dozers, excavators, and other heavy equipment with a professional operator at their side.
1 ticket gives admission to drive all machines, for the entirety of the event. No limit on individual machine rides. Admission also includes a souvenir ‘Hard hat’.
Additional construction equipment and emergency vehicles will be on site, plus the world’s largest sandbox and other kid-friendly activities. Food, refreshments, and souvenirs will be available. It’s a great day for good dirty fun!
