20+ trucks up close. Free to touch, climb on, and honk the horn … on a sunny Spring day in Park Slope. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

It seemed that about every little boy under six in a 5-mile radius brought their extended entourage to this hugely popular PS 295\u00a0 fundraising event<\/a>. It took us about 30 minutes in line just to enter the block. By that time, massive lines had formed to “drive” any vehicle of interest. Tobin had set his eyes on one of the popular fire trucks, and we patiently queued up for about 40 minutes. Above you can see how close we got … when the firemen suddenly got called to duty and had to leave the event.<\/em> Crushed, Tobin and Mika just wandered past the non-lineup attractions: fire safety education, an open Corvette engine, and a few vintage cars. We spent another 40 minutes in line for food, and on our way out got lucky: 10 minutes wait to “drive” the garbage truck, right before they packed up and left as well. Note to self: next time, arrive early!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
