BURRILLVILLE – It’s April folks! That means we are finally starting our area car shows and weekly cruise nights.
This week’s Buckleupallofus child passenger safety coloring cartoon takes on another level of importance regarding keeping kids safer boosted up and buckled up in vehicle backseats. Kids get to color in feature film hot rods and muscle cars to kickoff the car show season; a Two-Lane Blacktop Pontiac GTO, American Graffiti Hot Rod, the Bullitt Dodge Charger and Steve McQueen-driven Ford Mustang Fastback.
Buckleupallofus will not only be reminding kids and families about the importance of child passenger safety at area and regional car shows and cruise nights this year. Buckleupallofus will also be reminding kids and families about buckle up and seatbelts safety at drive-ins and cinemas during the summer months across New England. Buckleupallofus will be appearing as a giant ten-foot tall dinosaur with a seatbelt tail cold air balloon attraction at these venues, as well as showcasing at nostalgia drag races and race tracks throughout the racing season. Kids will receive thousands of Buckleupallofus child passenger safety coloring posters and fridge magnets to bring home and proudly display on family refrigerators as daily reminders to always boost up and buckle up for safety!
