Free event puts cool trucks, kids in touch

The Community Library Network will host a “Touch a Truck” event on Wednesday, June 30 from 11 a.m. to noon at the American Legion in Post Falls.

The “Touch a Truck” event will include several military vehicles, SWAT vehicles, the Sheriff's Office's Bear Cat, Sarge from the "Transformer" movies, and the Community Library Network’s own Discovery bus and Book Mobile.

This free, family friendly event will give kids of all ages the opportunity to be up close with different trucks and the people who operate them.

“This event is all about the kids. After canceling it last year due to COVID-19, we just had to make it happen this year,” said Cherie Millsap, youth services specialist at the Community Library Network.

Families can take photos, speak with the professionals who work with the vehicles, and ask questions. The American Legion is located at 1138 E. Poleline Ave. in Post Falls.

“The Legion has been a huge asset in pulling off this event,” Millsap said.
