Join us for the best touch-a-truck in the area

You’re invited to a fun-filled festival that helps raise money to recruit, train and supervise Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for America’s most vulnerable boys and girls, foster children.

We are Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)/Prince George’s County, and our 6th Annual Pepco World of Wheels (WOW) for CASA features games, moon bounces and a variety of emergency and utility vehicles for families to inspect and enjoy.

Admission is free, thanks to Prince George’s County Council Member Deni Taveras who is sponsoring the event. So, bring your kids, grand-kids, neighbors and friends!
