Children who dream of climbing through a fire truck or activating the lights and sirens inside a police cruiser can get that chance Saturday at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds.
The fifth annual "Touch a Truck" event will be 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Porter Avenue entrance of the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, 615 E. Robinson St.
Joanna Duck, MOMS Club-West representative for "Touch a Truck," said there will be a $2 suggested donation for each child.
"All of the proceeds go to the children's section of the Norman Public Library," she said.
According to a press release, the event is presented by MOMS Club of Norman-West, the city's oldest organization for at-home moms and their children.
Children also can tour the OU Medi Flight helicopter and vehicles from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
"They get to climb in the fire truck, they get to honk the horn, push all the buttons. They get to explore anything that gets to do with that truck," Duck said.
She said "Touch a Truck" isn't limited to emergency vehicles. Families can expect to see a street sweeper truck, sanitation truck, mobile shredder vehicle and many more vehicles.
Duck said what draws people to "Touch a Truck" is that it's a communitywide event.
"What monies are made, go back to our community," she said. "It's tons of fun."
