Wentzville Public Works Plans Family-Friendly Festival, Trivia Event

Know how many lane-miles of road the city plows in an average winter, or the average number of gallons of water the typical household uses per day? Ever had the chance to get up close and personal with a snowplow or a bio-solids transport vehicle?  

Area residents who attend Wentzville’s Public Works Festival and Trivia Event will have the opportunity to find out and experience that and a lot more. 

The Public Works Festival and Trivia Event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at Wentzville’s , located at 200 East Fourth Street.  

According to Wentzville’s Public Works Director Scott J. Smith, the event will have a fun, festival-like atmosphere while still being informative on how the city handles services like road construction and maintenance, water, storm water, waste water, recycling and solid waste removal.

“We’ve planned an event that should appeal to all ages,” said Smith. “We hope to have enough unique activities and opportunities to keep the youngest of our residents entertained, but at the same time present a lot of little-known information and facts that will be of interest to adults.”

In addition to unique photo-op locations around the venue, there will be a public-works trivia scavenger hunt. Various trivia-information stations will be located throughout the venue, where visitors will find the answers needed to complete “Public Works Trivia” sheets they can pick up at a central station. Once visitors complete the trivia sheets, they can turn them in for attendance prize drawings that will be held throughout the day.

To add to the festivities of the day, the city will have complimentary snow cones and popcorn available, and other food vendors will be at the event as well.

 This event promises to be a fun, learning experience for kids and adults alike.
