A huge THANK YOU to all of our Touch-A-Truck participants/drivers who volunteered their time to be at the 17th annual Touch-A-Truck event last night. You answered questions, showed off your vehicles, let kids explore, (honk horns) and experience things up close. Your kindness and patience continue to make this event a community favorite.

Thank you to all the families (just over 500 people) that showed up on a very busy (and windy)Thursday night.

Lastly, if your child guessed 21 cars/trucks in the container, they were correct! There were 5 (out of about 100) correct guesses - and then a winner drawn from those 5. Congratulations Annalise!

It’s a great night for Touch-a-Truck, c’mon out! 5:30-7:00
