Saint Michael Lutheran School will hold its 6th Annual TOUCH-A-TRUCK event, presented by Southern Aluminum, Saturday, Jan. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The free family event is open to the public and takes place at the Saint Michael Lutheran School and Church campus at 3595 Broadway, Fort Myers.

TOUCH-A-TRUCK transforms Saint Michael’s campus into a hands-on interactive experience that allows kids to get up close with vehicles of all kinds. The event gives truck-obsessed children a chance to turn their imagination into reality. Kids can honk horns, open doors, climb into the driver’s seat and learn from community leaders and vehicle operators.

Parked along the streets of Saint Michael’s campus, attendees will see construction equipment, fire trucks and police vehicles, bucket trucks, dump trucks, farm equipment, mail and delivery trucks, and more. The soccer field will showcase commercial lawn mowers, side-by-sides, ATVs, and everyone’s favorite, a helicopter (weather permitting). Participating vehicles will be announced on the event’s Facebook page, search 6th Annual TOUCH-A-TRUCK.

Saint Michael’s gymnasium offers even more kids activities including bounce houses, family-friendly vendors, face painting, food, and drinks.

The first hour of the event, from 10 to 11 a.m., will be a sensory-safe time. During this time, lights, sirens, horns, and other sounds that might disturb young or sensory-sensitive children, are prohibited.

TOUCH-A-TRUCK is organized by the Saint Michael Lutheran School PTL, is presented by Southern Aluminum, and is supported by All Star Equipment Rental and Sales, Drake Ready Mix, Dynamic Equipment Group, Gulf Shore Cooling, HONC Industries, LCEC, Lee Mar Building and Construction Corporation, Sunset Air and Home Services, and Southwest Waste.
