SM Park set for big rigs

The annual special event Trucks and Big Rigs for Kids (all ages) will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 13 at the Theatre in the Park in Shawnee Mission Park.

Have you ever wondered what the inside of that big rig or tractor looks like? Do you have a child or grandchild who loves trucks? Bring them to explore trucks, tractors, construction and city vehicles up close.

Participants of all ages can crawl, climb, and sit in the driver's seat and talk with the real-life operators of these vehicles.

The separate entrance to the TIP complex is at 7710 Renner Road, Shawnee.

Admission is free. A donation of $10 per vehicle is accepted.

Proceeds from this special event benefit JCPRD Special Populations/Special Olympics.
