Touch-a-Truck 2012 Planned for Oct. 6 at Tuskes Park

The Memorial Library of Nazareth & Vicinity's Touch-a-Truck fundraiser is set for Saturday, Oct. 6 at Tuskes Community Park of Upper Nazareth.

Are you ready for Touch-a-Truck? The Memorial Library of Nazareth & Vicinity is again teaming up with Upper Nazareth Township for a really fun event. Just like last year, the event will be held at Tuskes Community Park.

Touch-a-Truck will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6. There will be food and fun and special guests and tons of trucks!

Volunteers from the Boy Scouts will be on hand to help little ones climb in and out of the vehicles -- you can even honk the horns and turn on the sirens. It will be a great time!
