What kid doesn’t love a truck? Truthfully, most grownups do too, although many don’t admit it! That’s why the perfect family fundraiser is sure to be Touch-a-Truck to benefit the Early Learning Coalition of Indian River, Martin and Okeechobee counties.
Set for May 30, 2015 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Martin County Fairgrounds, proceeds will benefit the non-profit’s Building Blocks for Educational Success. This interactive experience allows youngsters to climb on, learn about and discover their favorite big trucks - and what an exciting collection it will be.
Scheduled to be onsite are an engine truck from the Fire Department; a City of Stuart bucket truck, side loader, brushtruck and Sammy the Sailfish; a Martin County Sheriff Office Black Humvee, patrol car and, possibly, bear cat truck and helicopter; a limo from Leighton Transportation; Stuart Police Department patrol cars and a crime scene vehicle; from the Coast Guard - "Coastie"; a tow truck from Reliable Towing; garbage truck from Waste Management and, possibly, a school bus, tug and some construction vehicles.
Vehicle drivers and operators will be on hand to educate the public about their vehicles and answer any questions.
Admission is $5 per person and you’ll be able to buy lunch or snacks from one of the many food trucks that will be at the Fairgrounds.
Booth space will be available for non-profits who would like to participate by offering a craft suitable for children and present information about their organization. Sponsorships are available.
