Touch a Truck returns to Olentangy Berlin High School on Saturday, July 27, from 9 a.m. until noon. Approximately 100 public-service and commercial vehicles are expected to be on site at 3140 Berlin Station Road in Delaware during this free, family event sponsored by the Delaware County Emergency Medical Services Department (DCEMS) and the Berlin Township Fire Department.
The no-horns event promises plenty to see and explore for both kids and kids at heart as they get up close to heavy machinery, including helicopters (weather permitting), boats, buses and farm equipment.
Donations of canned food items and box fans are encouraged and will be collected at the event by People In Need, Inc., of Delaware County.
Last year, an estimated 4,000 people attended a similar event at the school. Organizers expect a larger turnout this year thanks to a new promotional partnership with CBUS Media Group, the parent company of the event’s official radio sponsor, Sunny 95.
Also new this year: attendees will be able to place orders from several local food trucks on hand during the event.
