Ho, ho, ho! Santa is trading the sleigh for something with a few more horsepower this summer! Holly and Tinsel are so excited to be coming back to Grundy County for our 2nd Annual Touch-a-Truck event at Coal City Lions Park, located at 460 S. Illinois St., Coal City, IL 60416, on July 11th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM!
We are bringing the community togetherโkids and our local heroesโfor a day of fun, discovery, and connection. Check out the massive fleet and activities we are assembling to show off:
Big Rigs & Heavy Equipment: From combine harvesters and SWAT vehicles to fire engines, there is something for everyone to climb on and explore! ๐๐
Marine Corps Highlights: Watch "The Mad Ghost Gauntlet" hosted by our Marines from the Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 24th Infantry from Joliet starting at noon. They will also be pulling trucks down Illinois Street! ๐๏ธ๐ช
Static Displays: We have cool stock cars, classic cruisers like "The War Party," and trucks from D'Orazio Ford in Wilmington and D'Arcy Chevrolet in Morris ready for your photos! ๐๏ธ๐ธ
Giant Inflatables & Games: Weโll have five bounce houses (one for little kids, one for older kids), a 45-ft tall obstacle challenge course, a nine-hole golf course, and a four-in-one carnival game! ๐ฐโณ๐ก
Food Court: Come hungry! Weโll have BBQ, pretzels, pizza, ice cream, and other desserts to keep your energy up all day long! ๐๐ฅจ๐๐ฆ๐
Whether you love massive trucks or just want to meet the brave men and women who keep our community safe, this is a day you wonโt want to miss. Mark your calendars for July 11thโI canโt wait to see all of you there! ๐
