Dozers & Dirt offers kids of all ages a chance to get on a big rig and drive heavy equipment. Participants can drive and ride bulldozers, graders, backhoes, loaders, excavators, dump trucks and more.

The Wolf Pack's Alphie, Archie from the Reno Aces, and Smokey the Bear will be making special appearances.
All children must be accompanied by an adult, and a waiver is required to enter. Admission is $100 per child under 17 who would like to ride the equipment.
The ticket price includes a youth t-shirt, backpack, and water pouch, while supplies last.
