Penn State Abington invites families to a fun-filled “Touch A Truck” event on Saturday, June 8, from 9 AM to noon. This free community event is a collaboration with the Abington Township police, fire, and public works departments, offering a unique opportunity for kids and adults alike to get up close and personal with a variety of impressive vehicles.

Children of all ages can explore an array of equipment used by first responders, including police cars, fire trucks, and public works machinery. Additionally, the event will feature Army Humvees, bomb squad vehicles, a crane truck, and more! Attendees will have the chance to meet and learn from the drivers and operators who use these vehicles every day, gaining insight into how they function and their importance in keeping the community safe.

This interactive experience is designed to be educational and entertaining, providing a hands-on way for children to understand the vital roles these vehicles play. It’s also a great opportunity for families to spend quality time together in an engaging environment.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. While the event is free, RSVPs are required to manage attendance and ensure everyone has ample opportunity to explore and enjoy the exhibits.

In the event of rain, the “Touch A Truck” event will be rescheduled for Sunday, June 9.
