What:

The San Francisco District of the United States Postal Service will put their drivers to the test in a ‘spooktacular’ safety demonstration of precision and skill as they maneuver a challenging course. Tractor Trailer and Motor Vehicle Operators will complete a challenging obstacle course that will highlight the level of safety and focus it takes to drive these USPS vehicles every day. It’s like bronc riding and calf-roping all in one while wrestling a steer.

Along with this unique rodeo, other postal vehicles will showcase their creativity in a spine-chilling auto costume contest. Children and families of Postal employees will partake in the ‘trunk or treating’ costume contest and other featured booths and interactive stations.

Sunday, October 20, 2019
9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
