Engineering and Public Works 2025 Annual Report

PARTNERSHIPS/EVENT/COMMUNITY OUTREACH

VEHICLE FAIR

In August, Shakopee Public Works proudly participated in the 2025 Vehicle Fair, sponsored by Shakopee Community Education. This annual free event brought families together for an evening filled with fun and community spirit. Guests enjoyed music from a live DJ, family friendly activities, treats, and a complimentary meal for the first 500 attendees. The highlight of the evening was the impressive display of vehicles from first responders, local businesses, and

Shakopee Public Works. Children and adults alike had the chance to see, touch, and explore vehicles up close, making it an engaging and memorable experience for all. Events like this showcase the strong partnership between city departments, local organizations, and the community—celebrating Shakopee’s commitment to connection, safety, and fun.

BIG RIG EVENT

Shakopee Public Works teamed up with Parks & Recreation to bring residents Big Rig/Wing Dings—a special event designed just for kids ages 3–5. This hands-on experience gave little ones the chance to safely learn, explore, and climb on big machines (a childhood

favorite). It’s also a great opportunity for kids to start discovering how the Public Works Department helps the community by keeping our parks and roads in top shape.

The special Big Rig event gives preschool-aged children an opportunity to explore the machines and equipment operated by the Public Works Department.
