From kitchen cabinets to school auditoriums, everyday occurrences seem larger than life through a child’s eyes.
Families are invited to explore and discover dozens of big trucks, automobiles, trains and planes, during “Touch-A-Truck.” Tulsa City-County Library’s Martin Regional Library, 2601 S. Garnett Road, will transform the parking lot into a child’s perfect playground, June 27, 10 a.m.-Noon. The event is in conjunction with Tulsa City-County Library’s children’s, teen and adult summer reading programs.
“Touch-A-Truck is an exciting and hands-on family event,” said Marie Welden, Martin Regional Library’s children’s area supervisor. “It’s a great opportunity for children of all ages to see familiar and maybe some not familiar vehicles up close. They can touch, explore and perhaps sit in the driver’s seat of vehicles they see every day.”
Participating organizations include Tulsa’s Channel 8, PSO/AEP, Tulsa Fire Department, Tulsa Police Department, EMSA, Green Country Ultra Sport Flyers, Ice Cream on Wheels, Tulsa Garden Railroad Club, News on 6, Police Explorers Club, Shredders Inc., Shriners and Tulsa RV Sales. Plus, see vehicles made famous in T.V. shows like Scooby-Doo, Herbie and Back to the Future.
“Touch-A-Truck” is sponsored by Flint Family Foundation and Tulsa City-County Library, with additional support provided by the Mary K. Chapman Foundation and George Kaiser Family Foundation.
