Kick off the summer by visiting our parking lot to get an up-close look at some of the big machines seen around town.

Get up close with the big machines you see around town. See big machines from the City of Fertile, County EMS's ambulance, Sandhill River Golf Course's mower, and more! Stuhaug Sanitation's garbage truck will be making a brief stop to empty the city dumpster so we can see it work. As a bonus Smiley's Rescue will be there. The south parking lot will be unavailable for parking; please park on the street or north side of the building.

Make sure to sign up for the day's prize drawing (SRP T-shirt) and grab a reading log to track your reading and get qualified for our SRP prize drawings.

Come back to town the following day to check out all the cool vehicles downtown at the Fertile Car Show. There will be free bouncy houses and games at Saturday's car show.

Request some books to learn more about these vehicles:
