More Info on Touch a Truck.
Touch A Truck Day brings children and their parents in contact with a large spectrum of trucks that serve our community and the people that run them. It is our MOMS Club's primary service project and community fundraiser for the year. All of the monies we make are donated to the children's section of the Norman Public Library which we all dearly love and use often. The actual event will take place on Saturday, May 8th from 9 to noon at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Last year we had over 30 trucks that the kids could climb in, honk the horn, pretend to drive and talk to the vehicle operators. We even had the MediFlight helicoptor there that you could get inside!! Other trucks include a cement mixer, a crane, ambulance, fire truck, police car, tow truck, sanitation truck, dump truck....and the list goes on! Pretty much if you can think of it, it was probably there! There is a suggested donation of $2 per child but only suggested. We want to involve as many people in the community as possible to be able to have one morning where the kids are actually allowed to touch, experience and talk to the trucks that they are all so excited to see on our city streets. Last year our donation to the library was almost $5,000 and over 1,200 children came to the event!!Touch A Truck Day is one of the most personally rewarding projects I have ever been a part of just for the sheer fun-ness factor as well as the great benefit to our community.
