Columbo had the time of his life at City Night with Friday After 5 last night! 🦣🎶

He even had the chance to fulfill some lifelong dreams that have been (millions of) years in the making- including spraying a firehose with Owensboro Fire Department , hopping in Owensboro Police Department's new SWAT truck, operating a garbage truck, and sitting in a backhoe! 🚒🚓🚜

Thank you City of Owensboro and Friday After 5 for such a fun evening! 🤩

Did you get any pictures with Columbo last night? Be sure to drop them below and/or tag us! 📸🥳
