Touch-A-Truck turned out an enthusiastic crowd with families enjoying the opportunity to climb in trucks that area businesses sponsored for the event -- with honking the horn or turning on sirens being the most popular aspect.

Everything from business trucks, fire and police vehicles, ATVs and even a helicopter were available to climb in, climb on and explore. Proceeds from this event benefited the Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity.

Area Boys Scouts also volunteered their time to help make this event a success.

Hi Eric! I just asked the director of the library how much money was raised / how many tickets were purchased. I'll keep you posted! I wasn't able to attend, but I heard it was a blast!
