Touch-a-Truck is a high-energy, family-friendly event where kids (and grown-ups!) can see, touch, and climb on a wide variety of vehicles-from first responder units and construction equipment to specialty trucks (and sometimes even aircraft) 🚁🚛 It's an awesome way to learn what these vehicles do and meet some of the professionals who operate them. Quiet Hour (2-3 PM) offers a reduced-sensory experience for attendees who may benefit from a calmer environment. Council staff will not be in attendance.
