Children made their mark on Pine’s community plow truck at the annual Touch-a-Truck event.

Pine Township hosted its annual Touch-a-Truck event on Sept. 16 in the Pine Community Center parking lot. The family-friendly event drew a crowd of young residents eager to see, touch and learn about a truckload of vehicles.

Franktuary and Kona Ice provided food and sweet treats.

One of the highlights of the event every year is when kids have the opportunity to paint their hands and put them on the Pine Community plow truck.

“They get excited to see their handprints on the truck when it goes around in the winter,” Gina Kampi said.

Kids had the opportunity to explore a firetruck, police car, dump truck, ambulance and more.

“I think this is definitely a great event for families. We had a wonderful turnout this year,” Kampi said.
