Touch A Truck returns to BMH
BRATTLEBORO, VT -- The 7th Annual Touch-a-Truck fundraiser at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 from 9 AM – 1PM. It promises to be another fun year with lots of trucks for children to explore, as well as the always-popular mulch area for children to play and dig in.
More than 50 vehicles will converge on the Brattleboro Memorial Hospital parking lot that morning. Children (and their young-at-heart chaperones) can climb in or on the trucks, talk to the drivers, and get their picture taken. Vehicles on site that day will include fire trucks, an ambulance, dump trucks, a utility truck, a back hoe, a Unimog, tow trucks, police cruisers, motorcycles, a zamboni, and many more. Children will have the opportunity to ride along on a Kubota tractor, moving mulch and operating the bucket loader. Plenty of adult supervision will be on hand to ensure safety.
Touch-A-Truck merchandise -- hard hats, baseball caps and t-shirts -- will be available and a raffle will be held to win a variety of prizes including a family season pass to The Keene Swamp Bats! Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and will be available for purchase at the event.
Admission is $5 ($15 for families of three or more). Tickets can be purchased at the event or in advance online at www.bmhvt.org. The entire event is horn/siren free and the first 200 children in the gate will receive a free toy truck. Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is located at 17 Belmont Avenue, Brattleboro, VT.
