Glorious weather
coupled with lots of unique activities and special events helped make Public
Works Day Celebration on May 18 in the downtown festival area a big success.
This event officially kicked off National Public Works Week (May 19-25).
The sounds of multiple horns honking, the
smell of fresh buttered popcorn, free tours of the Frisco Caboose, and plenty
of climbing opportunities on heavy equipment, made folks of all ages stop by to
experience this festive and family event. (Children
of all ages enjoyed the large pieces of heavy equipment on display during
Public Works Day Celebration.)
In addition to free photographs with Public
Works mascot, P.W. Paws, an inflatable mega obstacle course, and hundreds of
other free giveaways, the event was very well received by the Rolla community.
A special thanks goes to the members of the
Public Works, Environmental Services, and Parks and Recreation Departments,
Rolla Municipal Utilities, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and
the American Public Works Association for making this event the success it was.
“It’s always a great family outing that
provides a unique opportunity to see a more interesting side of the world of Public
Works,” said Hargis, who together with the Public Works staff put many hours
into the creation, coordination and planning of City displays, pamphlets and
educational exhibits that were enjoyed by all.

event, please visit the City of Rolla Website at www.rollacity.org.
