Middlesex Boro Hosts Touch-A-Truck June 4 In Mountainview Park

MIDDLESEX, NJ — The Middlesex borough library and town Department of Public Works will host a touch-a-truck event June 4 in Mountainview Park.

It will be Saturday, June 4 from 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. at Mountainview Park.

Touch-a-truck is a hands-on opportunity for all ages to explore and learn about construction, emergency management, fire and police vehicles. A child’s interest in trucks and construction has the strong potential to transcend from “just a hobby” if it is nurtured and explored at events such as Touch-A-Truck.

In addition, Touch-A-Truck is the perfect opportunity to encourage literacy and learning via a variety of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills in the everyday tasks that Public Works and other community departments fulfill to maintain public safety.

Hop behind the wheel and learn about:

• Dump trucks
• Garbage trucks
• Skid steers
• Loaders and more!

STEM Activities for kids:

• Storytime
• Giveaways & Prizes
• Community Groups
• Ice Cream Truck
• Refreshments
