It's Never too Early to Start Riding the Bus
May 23, 2011 -- Around 1,000 kids and parents attended the Truck Petting Zoo at Central Library on Saturday, May 21. Trucks and vehicles from all over the County were at the event for kids to check out and board. The ART bus was there and proved to be a big hit! Bus driver Issac greeted each kid as they got on the bus and let the kids sit in the driver's seat and honk the horn. The kids loved it! There was a line of people waiting to get on board the bus to check it out. Thanks to Central Library for a fun event!
