Touch-a-Truck 2010

"Grab your hard hats and make way for the trucks! The Junior League of Reading, PA, Inc. has expanded its service to the community to include Touch-a-Truck 2010. This unique children’s interactive event will take place on Sunday May 16, 2010 at Penn Sate Berks Campus. We need your support!

What is Touch-a-Truck?

Imagine an event where children can have the time of their lives by seeing, touching and exploring their favorite BIG trucks and vehicles. From behemoth earthmovers to scooters, children of all ages can climb on, scramble over and touch to their hearts’ desire. This family-friendly event will also offer entertainment, children activities, and much more. This event, however, is not just about fun. It has a serious purpose. The proceeds raised from Touch-a-Truck 2010 will support The Junior League of Reading, PA, Inc. and its community projects and services to expand the resources available to all children to enhance opportunities available for their growth, development and overall welfare."

If you are a business, local not-for-profit, government or military organization, you can support Touch-a-Truck 2010 by showing off your vehicles and allowing them to become part of the children’s interactive display.
