Baldwin Library Touch A Truck Fundraiser On Tap

The event will allow your child sit behind the wheel of a firetruck, police car and other vehicles.

BALDWIN, PA - It's one of the Baldwin Public Library's largest fundraisers of the year, and it's fun for the whole family. It's time once again for Touch a Truck, which takes place May 19 from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. at the borough building on Churchview Avenue.

This family event invites Baldwin firemen, police, EMT, local business and community truck owners to set up their vehicles and let kids get behind the wheel, honk the horns, take pictures and talk to the people who operate the trucks every day.

What kind of trucks? Expect to see firetrucks, an ambulance, police car, SWAT car, classic cars,
bookmobile, a Michael Brothers Hauler & Construction Equipment truck, a Duquesne Light bucket truck, a public works bulldozer and more.
