On a sunny but cold day in March, the Ol’ Blue, USA Big Wheels, Little Kids Program rolled into Oakland Elementary School for the first stop in the 2003 season. Students of Ms. Beverly Eller’s class greeted RJ Taylor with colored pictures while approximately 225 students gathered outside to learn of safety around large vehicles. Warren Kentucky Sheriffs Department, Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement, and Warren County Community Services hosted the event.

As instruction was given, Mr. Mike Taylor, Principal of Oakland Elementary School, sat in ‘Ol’ Blue’ and pulled the air horn.

Assisting with the “Big Wheels, Little Kids” Program, helping with the continued success of educating children were:
Deputy Maxie Jones with Warren County Sheriff’s Department
Officer George Offutt with Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement
Ms. Beverly Steele, Assistant Coordinator with Warren County Community Services

Under the Ol’ Blue, USA program, “Big Wheels, Little Kids” school visitation program takes ‘Ol’ Blue’ to schools to give students an up close and personal view of the safety considerations around large vehicles, car drivers, bicycles, and pedestrians.
