Roll on down to the rec center this Saturday for the annual Touch a Truck event

ROCK SPRINGS – From a young child driving his Tonka dump truck in the sandbox to growing old and wishing you could test drive the new Camaro, the thrill of vehicles is in everyone. This Saturday, families can get a hands on experience at the Touch A Truck event.

Saturday will mark the third year of the event. It gets underway at 10 a.m. at the Rock Springs Family Recreation Center and will go until 1 p.m. The event is free.

Parents and children can get an up close look at some of the amazing commercial and industrial vehicles throughout the area. It also gives the public a chance to meet some of the local operators while exploring the capabilities of the vehicles.
