Have you ever wondered what it takes to operate big construction equipment? Come explore and operate the largest construction machines around out at Eagle Mount Bozeman’s 2nd annual Digger Days to be held on August 25, 2012.

Kids of all ages are welcome to join in the fun where playing in the dirt will help benefit Eagle Mount’s programs which provide recreational therapy to people with disabilities and children with cancer.

During Digger Days, everyone is welcome to explore nearly 40 pieces of heavy duty equipment spread throughout the gravel pit. Kids of all ages are able to sit in the cab and operate the controls of the biggest and baddest construction equipment around. Event booths, food and activities will also be provided throughout the entire day. This fun and affordable family event will give anyone the chance to test out the big machines of their dreams.

Digger Days is presented by Sime Construction, TMC and Knife Construction. All proceeds will benefit Eagle Mount’s therapeutic recreational programs. The event will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25 at the Cook gravel pit on Dollar Road. Tickets are $5 per person, and include a full day pass for all activities.
