CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) invites transportation enthusiasts and families alike to join together for an afternoon of fun that will benefit abused and neglected children in foster care. The non-profit’s third annual World of Wheels for CASA: A Touch-A-Truck and Family Festival, presented by Pepco will take place Saturday, September 27th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at DeMatha Catholic High School (4313 Madison St., Hyattsville, Md. 20781).

This community event will feature cars, trucks of all sizes, motorcycles and other unique vehicles, including: a 1958 refurbished Mac tractor, a Brink’s Security armored vehicle, Metro Police vehicles, a Maryland State Highway Administration flusher truck and a TurboHaul bulk trash truck.

Batman, himself, will appear with the Batmobile from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., a unique opportunity you will not want to miss. Adding to the excitement will be food, music and an assortment of activities for kids of all ages, including moon bounces, carnival games, craft tables, face painting, temporary tattoos and cotton candy.

Attendees also can learn about volunteer opportunities with CASA to provide a voice to abused and neglected children in Prince George’s County. All proceeds from the event will directly support CASA/Prince George’s County. General admission is $5/person and a VIP package – which includes a bag with snacks, a drink, freebies from our sponsors and a moon bounce pass – is $10/person. Children age 2 and under can attend for free. Tickets will be sold at the gate on event day.
