Families in Gordonsville have an exciting opportunity to kick off summer with a hands-on community event: Play Day Touch-A-Truck. Hosted by the local police department and events committee, this free gathering invites children and adults alike to explore emergency and service vehicles up close.
Taking place on Saturday, June 27th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Ivy Agee Park, the event promises a fun and educational experience. Guests can see, touch, and even honk the horns of police cars, fire trucks, and other specialized vehicles. A special quiet hour from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM is reserved for children with sensory sensitivities, ensuring an inclusive environment for all.
Attendees will also have the chance to meet local heroes from organizations such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and rescue squads. Beyond the trucks, the event features family-friendly activities including food, a bounce house, and face painting.
With water-spraying fire trucks in the mix, organizers recommend bringing a towel and a change of clothes. Best of all, admission is completely free, making it a perfect outing for families looking to enjoy a day of discovery, learning, and community spirit.
