It's a busy week for our McCandless Bus Center associates and transportation partners as the Colorado State Pupil Transportation Association has a number of events taking place during their 2019 CSPTA Transportation Summit! The series of educational and networking events kicked off yesterday, June 10th and are being held at Cherry Creek School District.
Today was the annual CSPTA Roadeo Contest and Car Show at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora. McCandless Truck Center was a proud food sponsor of the events again this year and had Tim Mickey-Bus Sales and Kevin Elliot-Parts Sales on the scene grilling up some burgers and hot dogs for all the attendees.
It was a great turnout and the weather couldn't be more perfect! Here are a few pictures from the event. Check out more on our social media channels!
2016 and 2017 IC Bus CE Series buses were visible throughout the lot as drivers took part in the Technician's and Roadeo Contests to showcase their skills. Best of luck to all contest participants! LEARN MORE ABOUT IC BUS >>
