    Touch-a-Truck

    2009 Touch-a Truck
    Saturday, May 30, 2009
    10 a.m.-2 p.m.
    15th & Smallman
    Strip District
    $5/at the door for everyone 12 months and older

    The Junior League of Pittsburgh's second annual Touch-a-Truck is set for Saturday, May 30, 2009 10 a.m.-
    2 p.m. in the Strip District. 

    The parking lot at 15th and Smallman Streets will be booming with the vehicles and people who help build, protect and serve the Pittsburgh community. 

    More than 700 people attended last year's event. Children had the opportunity to explore trucks of all shapes and sizes including fire engines, police cars, construction vehicles, a SWAT vehicle and a cement mixer. Imaginations came to life as kids got up-close to the trucks, sitting in the driver's seat, honking the horn and turning on the sirens.

    My son and hubby went to one of these a couple of years ago.  They had a blast.  So excited to hear of this one.

    I'll be taking my 4 yr.old to this for sure. 

    The Mars Area Library held a similar event in October.  It is such a great experience for kids (especially if they're "obsessed" with trucks of all kinds like my son)!  It is PRICELESS to see their faces light up when they get in the vehicles and pretend they're the ones operating the machines.

    Enjoy it if you go!
