Due to our parking field being flooded, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Safety Fair & Cruise-In event. The new event date is August 9, 2025 from 11AM-4PM.

The Wood County Museum and Safe Communities of Wood County have made the difficult decision to postpone the 3^rd Annual Safety Fair & Cruise-In. The new event date is Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 11 am - 4 pm (rain or shine) on the grounds of the Wood County Museum.

This is a FREE community event.  Guests will be able to get an up-close look at service vehicles including fire trucks, police cruisers, first responder vehicles, tractors, farm equipment, and construction equipment.  Vendors specializing in safety information will also be onsite.  A kid’s zone with activities, bounces houses, and an inflatable obstacle course. Power of Yesteryear will also have a tractor show featuring antique tractors.

Put your pedal to the medal and drive out to the museum in your classic car or hot rod. Accompanying the Safety Fair is a passenger car cruise-in.  Participation in the Cruise-In is free.

Safe Communities of Wood County will be hosting a kick-off for the “Click It or Ticket” campaign. The “Click It or Ticket” campaign focuses on educating drivers and passengers on the importance of buckling up and always wearing a seat belt. There will also be a ceremony for the “Seatbelt Survivor” awards.

Root’s Poultry, The Hot Dawg Hut, and BG’s Lemonade King food trucks will be onsite during the event.

The event is rain or shine and will be modified in the case of weather.
