The New River Valley Home Builders Association (NRVHBA) is inviting young artists across the region to participate in the Touch-A-Truck NRV Coloring Contest, a fun and free activity leading up to this year’s 11th annual event.
The free contest gives children the chance to express their creativity while getting excited about this highly anticipated family-friendly event. Contest winners will be recognized during Touch-A-Truck NRV and will receive a custom prize pack from the coloring contest sponsor, Foresight Design Services.
Touch-A-Truck NRV provides a hands-on introduction to the building industry and public service careers by offering an educational opportunity to explore trucks, tractors, heavy machinery and to interact with the people who build, protect, and serve the NRV.
“Touch-A-Truck is about creating memorable experiences for families while helping children discover careers they may never have considered,” said Stephanie Bell, Office Manager for Foresight Design Services, member of the Touch-A-Truck committee, and Board Member of the NRVHBA.
The coloring contest is open now, and rules and entry forms can be downloaded from the event website, www.touchatrucknrv.com. Submissions must be uploaded by July 31 and winners will be announced by Aug. 8.
This year’s Touch-A-Truck NRV will take place on Saturday, Aug. 15 at Uptown Christiansburg, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Admission is free for children, and adults are just $5, making it an affordable day of family fun. The event is horn and siren free from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Proceeds from this event benefit the Building Futures Foundation, the NRVHBA’s new charitable arm.
