Dozer Day: Yakima Event Details
Get ready for an exciting adventure at Dozer Day®! This extraordinary weekend event offers all the fun of a real construction site with a wide range of heavy equipment like bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, and more.

Event Venue
State Fair Park – Home of the Yakima Valley SunDome & Central Washington State Fair celebrates the Yakima Valley by promoting agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment.

Central Washington Home Builders Association
Central Washington Home Builders Association is dedicated to workforce development, coordinating and supporting member and association efforts to recruit more people into residential construction trades.
Labor and subcontractor shortages remain widespread and are continuing to impact the industry in several ways. Simultaneously, the student debt load from a traditional four-year path, pushed by educators, parents, and society, has risen sharply. With vocational training removed from classrooms and a lack of trade education, it is time to present construction jobs as viable alternatives.
