Overall Event Details:
Edwardsville Township is pleased to present their 4th Annual
Touch-A-
Truck event on Saturday, October 6th, from 10 am-4 pm, at Edwardsville Township Community Park, located at 6368 Center Grove Rd. in Edwardsville, Illinois. This is a FREE community event that gives area families and children the opportunity to explore and learn about the various vehicles they see every day and some that are rarely accessible. Last year the event hosted more than 30 vehicles of various purposes (fire
trucks, farm equipment, utility, transit bus) and welcomed more than 6,000 guests! We are looking to continue to increase our turnout! This year we are planning a children’s area featuring a balloon artist, face painting, and a variety of other activities. Food
trucks will also be added during the event.

Volunteers Needed For This Event
Miss Tammy needs volunteers to help with this event! You can volunteer in one hour increments. I would like to have two volunteers available at all times. Volunteers will help teach children visiting our booth how to punch, kick, and block pads!
I will also need volunteers to help me set up at 9am, and tear down at 4pm.
We will also have a couple games set up, and I will need a volunteer to help explain and watch how games are going.
During our demo from 10:45am to 12:30pm I would like a couple parent volunteers to manage these activies and pass out information about our school for those who may be interested in learning more. I will have brochures and price schedules available to share.
There will be a sign-up sheet at the studio, but you may also email me if you are avilable to help.
