Touch-a-Truck

Saturday, May 17 | 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

(Quieter Hour from 9:00 am - 10:00 am)

Our wildly popular, Touch-a-Truck event is returning this May. Children (and adults!) will have a chance to see and touch heavy machinery utilized in the construction industry and speak with the people who operate them. We will have various equipment on display and host floor cart activities promoting engineering. This special day is sure to be a ton of fun.
