Little Hands Big Trucks
Get Ready for a Big Day of Fun!
The 13th Annual Little Hands, Big Trucks is rolling into town on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the Roger Short Soccer Complex in downtown Columbus! For just a $5 entrance fee, families can explore an incredible lineup of trucks, heavy equipment, emergency vehicles, and more — all while benefiting FORGE and its mission to inspire and empower the next generation.
Kids (and kids at heart!) will have the chance to climb aboard, honk horns, and meet the heroes who operate these mighty machines. Plus, enjoy a special Sensory Hour from 9:00–10:00 AM, sponsored by The Rowdy Foundation, designed for children with sensory sensitivities who prefer a quieter, horn-free experience.
Whether you’re here for the fire trucks, concrete mixers, tractors, or just the smiles, Little Hands, Big Trucks is a can’t-miss event for the whole family!
