Im assuming that they are more crowded on the weekends this time of year since schools are still in session.

Because Playland is open and busy on the weekends and, going by the original intent of this program, the target audience works weekdays not weekends. The target audience was originally fleet managers and maintenance people.

When the program was first being developed, one of the ideas was to make demo vehicles (police package cars, light SUV's, etc.) available for test driving using Playlands expansive parking lots but liability concerns nixed that right out of the gate.

ah, i see it advertised as a county PR gig for public view. one year we were asked to bring a rig if we attended, never went, but assumed it was a public event

It is advertised as such and is open to the public; I was just relating the original intent of the day. It has since morphed into more.

Glad I got my ride in the Demo Dodge Charger Police Car.... WOW!!!!! :D

BEFORE the "liability" kicked in.

I guess no rides in the Westchester County PD Chopper? lol

Liability ruins ALL the fun.

Port Chester's new Smeal Ladder 31 will be there. We were asked by Smeal to bring it to represent their ladder division. I will be there with the truck. Stop by and say hello.
