Get ready for a morning full of horns, sirens, and smiles at the 25th Annual TOUCH-A-TRUCK Day, hosted by The Resource Exchange (TRE)! This exciting, hands-on event invites kids of all ages to climb inside, crawl through, and explore more than 20 big trucks and emergency vehicles.

From fire engines and ambulances to a real helicopter, school buses, and even a snowplow, this is a rare chance to get up close to the vehicles that help keep our community running. You’ll also spot police cars, dump trucks, a JTLV military vehicle, backhoes, a street sweeper, and more.

Whether your kid dreams of driving a bulldozer or sounding the siren on a fire truck, this event puts them right in the driver’s seat—literally.

Helpful Tip: If anyone in your family is sensitive to noise, please bring noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs. Some vehicles may sound their horns or sirens during the event.
