This year's theme is "Walnut Creek Works," and on Saturday, August 13, everyone is invited to come see how we work! Go behind the scenes at the Lesher Center, get up close and personal with giant street-sweeping machines, and get an insider's perspective of what happens on WCPD's Bomb Squad, and more! The free event takes place from 9:00 am to noon Saturday, August 13 at City Hall and the Lesher Center for the Arts.

North Main Street in front of City Hall will be closed to traffic to accommodate displays of street sweeping machines, dump trucks and other Public Works equipment.

The line-up of tours and activities includes:

• ·        Meet the Mayor at City Hall
• ·        Be in a commercial for Walnut Creek TV
• ·        See the high-tech Traffic Signal Master in action
• ·        Find out about major development projects
