Dozer Day Paves the Way

In Vancouver, Washington, lived a young boy named Dan with a passion for machines and a dream oh so grand.

Join Dan at Dozer Day®, an annual event where kids get to learn about and even operate diggers and dozers! As Dozer Dan attends Dozer Day year after year, his love of dozers grows, inspiring him to become a volunteer and operator at the event. How will Dozer Day inspire you to explore the construction industry and make a difference in your community?

Dozer Day Paves the Way builds on key values that characterize Dozer Day: learning and education, pursuing your passions, playing an active role in your community, and serving others. Paired with vibrant artwork that captures the essence of Dozer Day, Dozer Dan’s story is an inspiring reminder that when it comes to making your dreams come true, you’re in the driver’s seat.

Sammi Nutter Charlton, a fourth-grade teacher in East Wenatchee, Washington, fulfilled her dream of writing a children's book after graduating from Washington State University. Dozer Day Paves the Way is inspired by her family's community legacy. The Nutter Foundation collaborates with partners to bring Dozer Day to communities near you. 

Sammi, with her husband, Bo, and their Labrador, Sky, enjoys hiking, running, cooking, and family time.
