Children who love big trucks and construction vehicles will have the time of their lives at the Blue Ash Public Works Touch-A-Truck on May 24 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Summit Park, 4335 Glendale Milford Road.

A street sweeper, a wheel loader, a dump truck, a mini-excavator, and much more will be on display. Plus, you can get your picture taken with Blizzard the snow plow!

Children will be able to climb in the vehicles, win some prizes, learn about Public Works, and use kid-sized equipment to dig in a sandbox.

Touch-A-Truck is free and open to the public. Let us know you'll be there by RSVPing to the Facebook event.

Public Works Week is May 21 - 27. Check out the City's social media for updates all week long.
