Are you or

someone you know impressed with vehicles of impressive size or importance?

If so, the Touch a Truck event taking place in the parking lot of the

Peachtree City Recreation Department off of McIntosh Trail, is something

you may want to check out.

Each year,

the Peachtree City Recreation Department invites large vehicles and emergency

vehicles to the parking lot for kids of all ages to examine and get their

pictures taken with.

"How many

times do you have the opportunity to climb high into the seat of a huge

rig and blow the horn?" asked Susan Taylor, Program Coordinator for

the Recreation Department. "Where else do you see a vehicle with

tires taller than you are?"

Among the vehicles

participating this year will be pumping trucks, a wrecker, the Army National

Guard, a medium duty rollback, tractors, dump trucks police and fire vehicles

and much, much more. There will also be an exhibit, Georgia Operation

lifesaver, which takes place in an 18-wheeler.

"This

gets bigger and bigger each year," said Taylor of the event which

is now in its third year. The local BMX group will be on hand selling

hot dogs and refreshments.

As always,

there is no admission for Touch a Truck. The event will run from 10 a.m.-1

p.m. rain or shine.
