It was a warm and sunny day in the public works yard in Williams Lake on Saturday, May 27, as families had a chance to bring children down to get a close up look at some of what the city does.
Public works was holding an open house at their works yard, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and not only could children get up close and touch some of the equipment, some even got to give them a try.
Children had a chance to go up in the bucket truck used by public works electrician Chad Enns and some had a turn at trying out sitting in an excavator. There was all manner of equipment, from a snow blower to a zamboni, plus bubbles and flowers to plant.
Inside the building there were snacks and cool drinks to help beat the heat and freezies were also being handed out to keep things cool
It is the first open house public works had hosted in a number of years, and the young visitors in attendance appeared to be enjoying the chance to experience a day in the public works yard with all of the life-sized Tonka toys you could dream of.
