CHRISTIANBURG — Get the kids ready to honk the horns, blare the sirens and explore all the vehicles this weekend!
The New River Valley Home Builders Association (NRVHBA) is proud to present the 9th Annual Touch-A-Truck NRV event this Saturday, Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Uptown Christiansburg, 782 New River Rd., in the back parking lot. For those with sensitive ears, the event will be horn and siren-free from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Children will get to have a safe and hands-on learning experience by climbing into the driver’s seat and exploring vehicles such as squad cars, dump trucks, bucket trucks, construction vehicles and more.
Many business and non-profit organizations have plenty of activities to keep the kids busy, local food trucks will be there to satisfy your cravings, and there will be the chance for the kids to build their own birdhouse at the event! Get ready for a day filled with giant tires, horns, sirens and fun.
Touch-a-Truck NRV is a family event open to all. Tickets are $3 each or $8 per family ticket (valid for up to four attendees.) Children two and under are free. Proceeds from this event go towards the New River Valley Home Builders Association and the NRVHBA Microgrant fund which provides funding for special projects and/or materials within elementary and secondary classrooms that align with the workforce development interests of the home building and construction industry.
