Touch-a-Truck Rolls Into Ridgewood This Thursday

Imagine taking a seat behind the wheel of a real police cruiser ready to roll, climbing aboard a shiny fire truck as you prepare to battle a blaze, exploring up-close a fleet of the other emergency and public works vehicles you’ve only seen at a distance on the streets of Ridgewood.

Treat your children to a day of hands-on adventure, featuring opportunities to climb on board the vehicles that touch their lives, when Touch-a-Truck 2015 rolls into downtown Ridgewood’s Memorial Park at Van Neste Square this Thursday, May 14 (Rain date: Thursday, Oct. 8) .

Ridgewood emergency and public works vehicles will be ready for action along the Oak Street side of the park from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. as the local heroes who serve the Village also will be on hand to share their favorite tales about the exciting work they perform every day.

As an added bonus, there will be a Safetytown Kiddie-Car Driving Track hosted by the Ridgewood Police Department and Little Ivy Learning Center. . . a special Truck Storytime hosted by the Ridgewood Public Library and more!

Touch-a-Truck, a free event co-sponsored by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Ridgewood, is coordinated by Ridgewood’s Little Ivy Learning Center as part of its ongoing commitment to serve our community’s children and their families.

We look forward to meeting your family on Touch-a-Truck Day!
