Touch-A-Truck Will Feature 'Roaming Railroad'

Roaming Railroad coming to the East Lyme Touch-A-Truck

The Seventh Annual Touch-A-Truck, co-sponsored by the East Lyme Auxiliary of Child and Family Agency and the East Lyme Parks and Recreation Department, will be held on Saturday, May 17th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McCook Point Park in Niantic. (Rain date is Sunday, May 18th.) The weather gurus are now telling us that Saturday will be the day!

Admission is $4 per person.  Children age two and under are admitted free of charge.

The main event is, of course, trucks; however, one of the other most popular activities is the ROAMING RAILROAD.  This trackless railroad is a true family attraction since it was custom built to accommodate both children and adults. Serving the entire Northeast, the Roaming Railroad, based out of Suffield, CT, is thought by all to be New England’s nicest trackless train.  Be sure to say hello to Engineer Dan DeCosmo, who will entertain riders with comedy, train songs, and inspirational routines like The Little Train that Could.

Tickets are $2.00/person.

 An event to remember- excitement and family fun.
