Get the little ones excited. The Junior Service League of Beaufort is hosting another Touch a Truck event for kids of all ages on Saturday, March 20th at Beaufort Town Center.

Originally scheduled to take place in 2020, the event was postponed due to COVID-19. All safety protocols will be strictly observed at the upcoming date.

Popular in communities throughout the U.S., and in its 5th 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, emergency equipment including ambulances and fire trucks, tow trucks, back hoes, 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 vendors and food trucks with 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.

There will be plenty of food, live music and beverage options available to enjoy while watching the kids have fun.

Admission is only $5 per person, with all proceeds directly benefiting women, children, and families in our community. Tickets will be available for purchase at the entrance of the event and all proceeds directly benefit women, children, and families in our community.

Not only is the event a ton of fun, but it’s also all for a good cause. Proceeds from the event 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.
