CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Discovery Playhouse will host their 2nd Annual Wheeled Wonders Fun Fest on Saturday June 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the old Steve and Barry’s Parking Lot at West Park Mall.

Wheeled Wonders Fun Fest is an opportunity for children of all ages to watch, explore, honk horns and climb in various occupational vehicles while meeting the experts that operate them. It will provide children with a greater understanding of important career fields, specifically engineering.

Discovery Playhouse says this is a great chance to reach the families, from all over our region, while having fun. Last year’s event was a great success and we anticipate a better turn out this year.
