At first glace, Friendship Park looked like it was under some massive construction on August 11.
But the park was actually playing host to the Orion Township Parks and Recreation Department’s annual Big Rig Gig, which gave kids the opportunity to see trucks of all shapes and sizes firsthand, and even take a turn in the driver’s seat.
With the help of dozens of sponsors, the event also included an inflatable obstacle course and bouncer, pony rides and pizza for dinner.
The first 500 kids through the gates received a free contruction hard hat, in addition to the many free goodies throughout the park.
