Gopher State One Call (GSOC) is a sponsor for the 2024 Day of the Dozers, which supports the important efforts of Children’s Minnesota. Taking place on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the ERX Motor Park in Elk River, Minnesota, Day of the Dozers is a family friendly event hosted by the Minnesota Utility Contractors Association (MUCA) that allows families to experience heavy equipment up close while learning about the construction industry, damage prevention, and safety.

During the event, kids ages three to 10 can ride in construction vehicles and heavy equipment – alongside operators – and the entire family can play in the giant sand pit, explore various activities, and enjoy food from local food trucks.

GSOC continues to be an annual sponsor of the event’s 811 Kids Activity Zone, which welcomes kids of any age. The activity zone provides a fun and engaging way to introduce underground utility safety and damage prevention to young Minnesotans. It’s also a great opportunity for adults to connect with 811 professionals and ask questions about contacting GSOC before digging, buried utility safety, or any other utility questions.

The 2024 Day of the Dozers is gearing up to be another fantastic event – we invite you to join us and help surpass the goal of raising $100,000 for Children’s Minnesota. This year’s funds will go towards supporting the skilled trade of nursing.
