This year's event promises a fleet of crowd-pleasing trucks and vehicles, including the Westport Police Department's inflatable Dive Boat, Trumbull's SWAT vehicle, an ambulance, cement mixer, bulldozer, school bus and limousine. This year's event will also feature an exciting, new attraction, "Roaming Railroads: Train Rides for Kids," as well as the return of the "TheAmazingFunBus," a self-contained, mobile party with the latest video games, including the X-box, Wii and Guitar Hero, plus karaoke with hits from Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and other favorites.
The hot dog truck from Herb's Place in Norwalk will be on hand, serving hot dogs, egg sandwiches and more. Local gym class-provider, "My Gym," will be present at the event with a "bounce house" as well as an interactive, tumbling space for all children interested and the Connecticut Humane Society will be in attendance along with some of their furry friends! Face painting and hot chocolate, coffee and baked treats also will be available. Last year, the event attracted 400 families who climbed on, rode in and pushed buttons on a wide variety of trucks.
Back by popular demand, the event will start with a "quiet hour" from 9:30-10:30 a.m., for those truck lovers with more sensitive auditory nerves.
The 2010 Touch-A-Truck event will take place on Saturday, March 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Coleytown Elementary School, 65 Easton Road in Westport. Admission is $20 per family (six or less members).
Proceeds will benefit the Westport Weston Cooperative Nursery School, a NAEYC-accredited preschool, to help fund its continued educational programs for young children. For more information, visit.
