CRANFORD, NJ — Do you have a truck-loving toddler...or are you a truck-loving adult? Cranford Community Connection, which has organized events in town like Tuff Paddle, Pooch Plunge, Turkey Hunt, and Porchfest, has scheduled the first ever Cranford Big Wheels on Parade for Saturday at 11 a.m.
At least 18 police, fire, first aid, Recreation Department, and large business vehicles will start at the Orange Avenue Pool and parade around town.
"This event is similar to the townwide Pet a Truck," noted an organizer from the CCC. "The only difference is this time, the trucks come to you!"
