Little Boys Admire Big Boys' Toys

The Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival gives a chance for the Los Altos Police and Los Altos Fire Department to show off what they do.

 

It's an eternal fascination, little boys inspecting fire trucks and police vehicles for the first—or 100th time.

Summer festivals are for public education, too, as people flock to closed streets for shopping, meandering, and relaxing. The Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival last weekend gave ample opportunity to perus art, sample wine, and yes, ask a lot of questions about the very cool vehicles that the big guys get to use.
