Medford Tot at Touch a Truck at Square One Mall

North Shore residents came in droves to experience the annual Touch a Truck at Square One Mall in Saugus on July 23. Truck enthusiasts of all ages got a unique and up-close look at a variety of vehicles, including Saugus and Somerville Police Cruisers, a Saugus Fire Truck, Atlantic Ambulance, and more. National Tire & Battery and Junkster Bag sponsored the community event, which raised $776 to benefit Simon Youth Foundation, which helps help at-risk students, who are on the verge of dropping out of high school, graduate.
