Westport Touch-a-Truck returns but to new location

Posted

Cub Scout Pack 100 will host its 3rd annual Touch-a-Truck event on Sunday, June 12, at UMass-Dartmouth. There will be more than 30 vehicles for children and parents alike to inspect, climb on, and try out horns, knobs and controls.

There will be fire and police vehicles, heavy construction equipment, antique cars, farm equipment and much more. Some returning favorites from last year include the Westport Police and Fire Departments, SEMLEC SWAT from the Mattapoisett Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, the Westport Highway Department, and Amaral Bus Company, as well as many private vehicles.

A concession stand will be available to purchase snacks and beverages. Balloons, temporary tattoos, and face painting will all be free with admission. Admission is $6/person or $20/family, 2 years old and under are free.

The Cub Scouts are also asking everyone who attends to bring a non-perishable food item to benefit the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The goal is to fill the bed of a 1951 Ford F1 pickup truck.

All of the proceeds from this event will go directly to benefit the boys of Cub Scout Pack 100 Westport.
