Touch-a-Truck 2015 in CT
Update: 2018 Touch-a-Truck Events in CT
Spring is finally here and that means Touch-a-Truck season is upon us in Connecticut. If you’ve never been to a touch-a-truck event before you could probably still guess what goes on. All trucks, big and small, line up in empty parking lots and kids can climb in, pretend to drive, and beep the horns. It’s a lot of fun.
I’ve created a list of upcoming touch-a-truck events in Connecticut. Some programs even have special times when they go “horn free” which I love because the beeping noise can become a little overwhelming.
