WESTFIELD – Wrapping up the Week of the Young Child, Fort Meadow Early Childhood Center once again hosted a Transportation Day on Thursday. The Westfield Police Department, Westfield Fire Department, Public Works, Westfield Gas & Electric and Lane Construction among others brought big rigs for the children to look at and touch, and in some cases climb into.

“I do this every year – this is my community police area. I really look forward to it. Kids love transportation, they have a blast!” said Police Officer Steve Gonglik, who brought an ATV Rescue Vehicle along with his police cruiser to show the preschoolers.
