Some are big and some are not; some say BEEP and others say HONK. Some are quiet, and some are quite loud! Come visit them all and find out for yourself how fun trucks can be! The Murray County Early Childhood Initiative (ECI) presents Touch-A-Truck from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Murray County Fairgrounds.
Touch-A-Truck is a familyfriendly event that gives kids of all ages the opportunity to explore big vehicles they see every day. The goal is a handson experience to better understand how the trucks work and who makes them go. Attendees get a chance to see trucks and equipment up close, learn what they do, understand vehicle safety, pose for photos, and ask the vehicle operator questions.
What kind of vehicles can you expect at Touch-A-Truck? Construction, emergency, farm equipment, transportation, utility, delivery, and other types of equipment you might find around the area. We’ll even have a helicopter, weather permitting. Kids are invited to take a FREE ride on the barrel train! From 10 to 11 a.m., there will be no honking or beeping for those with sensory concerns.
Refreshments and lunch by the Murray County Pork Producers and Dairy Association will be available on the fairgrounds. Each child can get a FREE malt from the Murray County Dairy Association!
Anyone interested in sharing their truck or fun vehicle for the Touch-A-Truck event can contact Josh Malchow at 507525-4469 or email murraycountyeci@ gmail.com.
