Break out your hard hats and get ready for another great time at Touch a Truck 2009. Kids of all ages can climb, discover and explore their favorite things on wheels at this family-friendly event.
Touch a Truck is a unique event allowing visitors to touch and climb on vehicles of all types, including helicopters, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, motorcycles and big rigs. Kids will also have a blast climbing through the bouncy obstacle course, learning to build items with the Home Depot crew, and chowing down on hamburgers, hot dogs, Yarnell’s ice cream, and Pepsi drink products. Attendees can win great prizes, including bicycles, a family campsite set (including tent, sleeping bags, and grill), and gift certificates. Additional entertainment will include character visits by SpongeBob Square Pants and Strike with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.
Safety education will be provided at Touch a Truck by the Coast Guard, Rogers Police and Fire Departments, and the Morgan Nick Foundation. Health and wellness education will be presented by Walmart Vision, the Walmart Fitness Center, and Coppertone.
