    The Collins team had a 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘨-𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 time handing out treats to kids in our community at the South Hutchinson Police Department’s trunk-or-treat event on Saturday!  Families got a close-up look at the best bus in the industry, and kids got handfuls of awesome full-sized candy bars! Thanks to Collins team members Ginger, Brandi, Alisa, and Emma for making this happen. We wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween! 🎃 #trunkortreat #happyHalloween #collinsbus

    The Collins team and their families gathered for a fun-filled afternoon at our 2nd annual Fall Festival this weekend! The event was packed with excitement for everyone, including bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals, yard games, pumpkin painting, and a petting zoo! Stretch’s BBQ pork and chicken was provided, and Collins employees competed for bragging rights in our first-ever Chili Cook-Off. Official Collins guides provided plant tours so families could get a glimpse of world-class bus manufacturing. Collins would like to thank our local South Hutch Fire and Police Departments along with the Reno County Sheriff Department, who brought their emergency vehicles to display. We would also like to thank our event sponsors IMMI, Fastenal, and Mel Hambelton Ford, as well as Redemption Animal Rescue for bringing adoptable pets for our team to meet! #fallfestival #teambuilding #collinsbus
