There were four food trucks, a DJ from WTMP, a jamboree for kids that included face painting, games and cotton candy sponsored by the Boy Scouts, Gaither's ROTC and a Color Guard of Hillsborough County School Bus Drivers that presented the Colors. Two Hillsborough County Public Schools' bus drivers placed 1st and 2nd in the Safety Skills Competition.
