Visitors to the free event will also receive giveaways, enjoy train rides and inflatables, see vendor booths, and play games. The first 200 attendees will also receive a free Kona Ice cone.
Kids are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite community hero.
This event is in its ninth year. Last year, more than 2,500 people attended.
“The township hosts the Touch-a-Truck event as a way to interact directly with families in our community, as well as the opportunity for children to explore and learn alongside their everyday neighborhood heroes,” said Sarah Kirby, recreations manager for the township. “The kids have fun being able to climb on and get hands on with the vehicles that help keep our community running smoothly.”
