Get the little ones excited. The Junior Service League of Beaufort is hosting its 9th Annual Touch a Truck event for kids of all ages on Saturday, December 7th, on the Bluff in Port Royal.
Now in its 9th year here in Beaufort, Touch a Truck is an interactive event that allows children to see, touch, and explore their favorite big trucks and heavy machinery while getting hands-on experience from the skilled operators of the vehicles themselves.
Kids are an inquisitive bunch, and these events stoke their curiosity like no other.
Some of the big machines that will most likely be on display at the upcoming event include farm equipment, a helicopter, dump trucks, monster trucks, emergency equipment including police cars, SWAT cars, ambulances and fire trucks, tow trucks, back hoes, storm water trucks, utility trucks and several more.
Kids get the opportunity to climb, touch, learn and play on some of the coolest vehicles around that build, serve and protect our community. Participants will be able to sit in the driver’s seat and imagine what it is like to operate the vehicles as well as learn more about them, too.
The event also features a visit with Santa himself, food trucks, and a craft market so you can get a head start on your holiday shopping. Browse unique, handmade items from local artisans and support small businesses.
There will be tons to do for kids and adults so whether you’re a parent, a child, or a child at heart, there will be plenty to do while you’re there.
The event is scheduled from 10am to 3pm, and there is a designated Quiet Hour from 10am to 11am for members of our community who may be sensitive to noise and lights. During this hour, organizers do their best to eliminate music, sirens, lights, etc. to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.
Admission is only $5 per person, with all proceeds directly benefiting women, children, and families in our community. Children 2 and under are admitted free. Tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance of the event and all proceeds directly benefit women, children, and families in our community.
Please note:
• Santa will be at the event from 12 to 2pm.
• Pets will not be allowed at the event.
Not only is the event a ton of fun, but it’s also all for a good cause. Proceeds from the 9th Annual Touch A Truck event will go right back into our community via JSLB grants distributed in May each year. The JSLB is devoted to enriching the lives of women, children, and families in our Beaufort community. Your participation in engaging events like Touch-a-Truck helps the League continually distribute funds and time right back into this place we call home.
The Bluff in Port Royal is located at 809 Paris Avenue.
