I was a bit of a tomboy growing up. I loved to play with cars, the dirt and pretty much anything else that boys played with. Don't get me wrong, I had my fair share of Barbies, My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch dolls too. In fact, a lot of my barbies would ride my cars! Anyways, what I'm trying to get to is that if you're child loves trucks, cars and anything else on wheels, they are going to love a new event this weekend in Northwest Arkansas. It's called Touch a Truck and gives kids the opportunity to explore, climb and actually get in the driver's seat of various trucks. Here are just a few of the vehicles that will be there: Dale Earnhardt, Sr. race car, an ambulance, fire trucks, police cars, construction equipment, helicopter, school bus, motorcycles, the Wal-Mart Logistics Emergency Response Truck and I can't forget to mention the 40/29 news truck. There will also be a station for parents to have their car seat checked to make sure it's installed properly and a booth for fingerprinting. If you're interested, here's the information.

I should mention that 40/29 is a sponsor of this event and I'm a member of the Junior League, but even so, this is a great event that you won't want to miss! See you there rain or shine!
