Enjoy cool performances on hot wheels at the August 30th Hero Thrill Show Pep Rally, a sneak-preview of the September 9th carnival-style Thrill Show extravaganza. Center City will be sizzling at lunchtime with the dazzling daredevil maneuvers of the Philadelphia Police Highway Patrol Drill Team complemented by Mounted police horses, K-9 Unit, bicycles and fire engines. The police and fire departments will give you a preview of the boardwalk-inspired Hero Thrill Show that has been entertaining the wide-eyed masses for 68 years. What other event gives you a sample taste before you buy? And it’s all for a great cause: Supporting the post-high school educations of the families of Philadelphia-area police and fire personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty.
