Postal employees participate in Jacksonville school vehicle fair



The North Florida District Vehicle Maintenance group recently attended a vehicle fair at Hogan Springs Glen Elementary School in Jacksonville which attended by about 300 students.

The fair included vehicles that serve the local community including fire, police and rescue trucks and cars.  A special treat was the landing of the local rescue helicopter which landed at the fair.

"Students asked questions about why the steering wheel was on the right side of the truck and how far the postal truck travels," said Supervisor Vehicle Supplies Tory Negron.  "The children enjoyed the activity books that were provided by the Postal Service so they could color in the stamps celebrating our 50 states."


This is the second year for the VMF to participate in this event and at the World of Nations celebration in downtown Jacksonville.

Negron was assisted at the vehicle fair by Auto Technician Dan Camacho.
