"No Horn" Hour: 9:00 AM–10:00 AM
Main Event: 10:00 AM–2:00 PM

Douglas County Fairgrounds

JOIN THE FUN!


These trucks usually plow streets, work construction sites, and save lives, but for this event, they'll be waiting to meet you. From police cars to firetrucks to helicopters and more, there is something for everyone!

Not only will kids get a chance to climb inside and take pictures of the various trucks, but their operators will also be on hand to explain how everything works and what role these vehicles play in the community.

"Our goal is for families to leave the event with a better understanding of the role each of these trucks and vehicles plays in keeping residents safe," said event organizers from the Castle Rock Police Department. "At the event, we have a little of everything from first responders to construction, transportation, and landscaping companies." 

Castle Rock Police Department is committed to providing a more inclusive community. The "No Horn" hour from 9:00–10:00 AM is for children with special needs and auditory sensitivity issues — no horns, music, or sirens!
