The Platte Valley Kiwanis Club is hosting a Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, August 27th, at Kathy Glode Park in Saratoga from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Bring your kids, or just your inner kid, and climb inside of all sorts of different machines. There will be fire trucks, ambulances, logging trucks, and other heavy equipment. The more wheels the better! Rumor has it that they’ll land a Life Flight helicopter there.
Jon Winter, the past president of the PV Kiwanis Club, says that it’s a good chance for kids to safely see these vehicles in person.
Bring your appetite too because the Kiwanis Club will provide a free picnic lunch. Winter says Kiwanis volunteers will be barbequing during the event.
The Platte Valley Kiwanis Club has been helping children throughout the Platte River Valley for more than 31 years. Winter says that this event is another way of giving back to the community.
