‘Touch a truck’ events are happening all over NJ

I’ve been seeing so much marketing and a plethora of press releases promoting Touch a Truck events all over NJ. I had no idea what a Touch A Truck event was. Now I do.

And if I were a young mom, I’d be excited to bring my family to an event like this. Touch a Truck is a fun-filled event where kids of all ages get the chance to touch, explore, and climb on just about any vehicle they can imagine.

It already sounds like kid heaven. Featuring an assortment of all different kinds of vehicles from police cars and ambulances, to fire trucks, dump trucks, and bulldozers.
