We were so excited to have Arch Air Medical Service fly in for our Annual Touch-A-Truck Event! Their incredible helicopter was a major highlight, and the crew took time out of their busy schedule to educate and inspire both kids and adults alike. 💙
From up-close looks at the aircraft to meeting real-life heroes, it was an unforgettable experience for everyone. Thank you, Arch Air, for bringing the wow factor and for all you do to keep our communities safe and cared for! 🚑💨

We are so grateful to Utilitra for ‘Tow Truck’ sponsoring our Touch a Truck event. Your support brought so much joy and excitement to families as they explored trucks, climbed in cabins, and got hands on with machinery. Seeing all those smiles was priceless!

We want to send a BIG thank you to Truck Centers, Inc. for being an amazing ‘Big Rig’ sponsor of our Touch a Truck event! Your support helped bring the excitement to life and gave kids (and adults!) the unforgettable experience of getting up close with some seriously awesome trucks.
We couldn't have done it without your generosity and community spirit. Thank you for helping us make this event a huge success!
