The City of Galesburg is gearing up for an engaging experience for children with its annual Touch a Truck event. Set for May 1, 2024, at the scenic Lake Storey Pavilion, the event promises a morning filled with exploration and fun, running from 10:00 to 11:30 AM. This unique gathering offers kids the chance to get up close with a range of impressive vehicles, such as fire trucks, police cars, and even a race car. The event isn’t just about exploration; it also focuses on safety, with car seat checks available, along with a mobile playground to enhance the family-friendly atmosphere. This free event is a perfect way to educate and entertain, fostering a better understanding of the vehicles that serve our community.
“We are excited to host this wonderful community event again this year, which allows kids the opportunity to see and explore a wide range of vehicles and equipment,” said Angie Buchen, Recreation Supervisor for the City of Galesburg Parks and Recreation Department. “It is an outstanding opportunity for hands-on learning, in a fun and interactive setting. We are thankful for the organizations who participate each year and make this a truly remarkable experience for the youth in our community.”
