Thursday, May 13, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at McDonald Park.
This event is a family friendly, fun way to see how your city works smart to meet the needs and expectations of its citizens.
You can meet Mayor Robert Mangrum, the city council members, and the men and women who work hard day to day to make the City of Early a great place.
The concept of the Expo is simple and fun. Departments from around the city and community partners will have a booth set up around the track at McDonald Park, which is located at 101 Park St. These booths will have information about the departments, equipment and technology they use to accomplish their work, and a lot of cool vehicles like fire trucks, police cars, excavation equipment and other awesome things. Kids, and adults who still act like kids, can sit in, touch, and interact with the equipment operators.
