Love T.V.? Come To East Lyme Touch-a-Truck

On Saturday, May 16, 2015 (rain date Sunday, May 17), the East Lyme Auxiliary of Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut and the East Lyme Parks and Recreation Department will co-sponsor the eighth annual Touch-A-Truck event. This is a family event that will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at McCook Point Park in Niantic, CT.

The main event is, of course, Trucks! Therefore, one of the Trucks your child won’t want to miss is the CHANEL 3 SATELLITE TRUCK. Once again, it will be manned by Eric Parker who enjoys demonstrating to the children the “cool” equipment in the truck and showing them their faces on the closed circuit T.V.

Eric, a graduate of East Lyme High School, is one of our Favorite Sons. He is the Chief Investigative Reporter for the Channel 3 I-Team. In addition to his reporting, Eric practices law at Romano & Associates, a general practice law firm in Rocky Hill. We are especially grateful that he is willing to demonstrate his truck at T-A-T.

In addition, as a special treat, Kevin Hogan, THE Chanel 3 New London Bureau Chief, will be present to report on the event. Kevin says his career gives him an opportunity to meet people while reporting on stories that help communities. When you see him at T-A-T, be sure to say hello!

There is no better way to spend a day with your children. If we happen to be rained out Saturday, know that everyone will be in place on Sunday to create this magical, entertaining world by the Bay.

Children will be able to climb, steer, blow horns, and imagine in an amazing array of trucks. There will be a bucket truck, cement mixer, paramedic van, police cruiser, party coach, aerial lift truck, and many more. Be sure to check out the Channel 3 satellite truck. Don’t miss the fun!
