Mark your calendars for Touch-a-Truck!

Bring the family to Green Hill Park on Saturday, July 25th between 10:00am and 4:00pm for Touch-a-Truck, Wings, Wheels and Water. This event is a community wide happening where kids and adults have the opportunity to see, touch, interact with and learn about over 100 cool vehicles. From fire trucks to motorcycles, cement trucks to police cars, UPS trucks to garbage trucks and why not airplanes as well.
How often does anyone get to look inside, sit inside and climb all over any of these unusual vehicles and get to talk to someone who operates them? And kids of all ages love these loud and unique vehicles. Additional favorite activities will include events involving “water” such as Firemen’s Foam, misting tent, water spray and possibly even a water slide. Face painting, balloon sculptures, costumed characters, food vendors and other special attractions will help to add to the event’s appeal. Cameras will be highly recommended. Call 387-6078 ext 0 for information.
