The McQueeney Volunteer Fire Department showed up in force on Saturday, August 17th, at the Country Church in Marion for it’s third annual “Touch a Truck” exhibit. Dozens of vehicles of all kind participated in the show: fire trucks, garbage trucks, cement trucks, cranes, ladder trucks–and many more! Children in attendance were allowed to crawl into the vehicles, and see how they worked. They also were allowed to try on the safety gear that the various personnel use on a regular basis. The church provided food and drinks as well as a handmade quilt raffle. Thanks to all those that brought out trucks and withstood the extreme heat to show the children a good time, and thanks to the parents who gave their children this opportunity.
Note to parents: If you wish to have your child’s picture removed from this post, please contact Marilyn at mmarshall5583@gmail.com and the photo will gladly be deleted.
