Grounds of the former Nike missile site turned into a road-e-o arena on Sept. 28 as Fairfax County employees of the Park Authority, Public Schools, and Public Works competed in a maintenance equipment operation challenge.
The annual event, recognized by national associations, provided an opportunity for operators to gather and demonstrate their operating skills on several varieties of equipment. From large to small snow plows; from giant Knuckleboom cranes to Mini Excavators; and from Bobcats to Zero Turn mowers, employees moved the equipment through prescribed courses against the clock in tests of skill. Their demonstrated expertise can make all feel confident that professionals are at work in Fairfax County.
