“This event is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and for our youth to learn and have fun,” said Public Works Workforce Data Analyst Benny Cope. “We invite all Palm Coast residents to join us for a day filled with excitement and exploration.”
The Touch a Truck event is free and offers entertainment for the whole family. Attendees of all ages will have the chance to not only touch but also hop right into the driver’s seat of various vehicles, including a dump truck, loader, pontoon excavator, signal bucket truck, fire ladder truck, SWAT vehicle, helicopter, and more.
