Touch-a-Truck at Red Bank Middle School

Monmouth Day Care Center will hold its third annual Touch-a-Truck event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Red Bank Middle School parking lot.

This family event offers children a hands-on opportunity to explore some of the big and small trucks that they love. Vehicles may include construction trucks, utility and recreational vehicles and emergency responders.

Children are encouraged to interact with the trucks while the professionals who operate them explain and discuss the work they accomplish with their machinery. In addition to visiting the big trucks, the entrance fee includes crafts, face painting, games, music, fingerprinting courtesy of the FBI, and a visit from Meridian Health’s Hop Scotch Bunny.

Tickets are $10 per family (up to 4), $1 each additional person at the door. Advance tickets receive a discount admission ($8 per family of 4) and a voucher for a free cotton candy.

To purchase advance tickets contact the center at 732-741-4313. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Touch-a-Truck will take place rain or shine.

Touch A Truck sponsors include: Firestone of Middletown and Red Bank, Schwartz and Sons Mazda, Hino and Suzuki, Ron’s Five Star Cleaning, Heritage House SIR, The Pressler Group, Karson Food Service, DeFazio’s Lawn Service, Lucky Break Billiards and Calendar for Kids.

All event proceeds will benefit Monmouth Day Care Center, a provider of private, nonprofit childcare and education to more than 125 families in the greater Red Bank community. For more information contact the Center at the number above or check us out on Facebook.
