How close have you ever really been to a fire engine?

Bring the kids out for an exciting morning of big trucks, dump trucks, heavy equipment and fire trucks. The 24th Annual Touch a Truck Day is a hands-on experience for the entire family. This free event will be held at the Flying Heels Arena from 10 a.m. until noon on Aug. 16.

Kids will get the opportunity to see what it’s like to sit behind the wheel of the really big rigs that heavy equipment operators, first responders and truck drivers use around Grand County. Parents must accompany children.



If community members have a big truck or piece of equipment and are interested in being a sponsor of Touch a Truck Day, please call the Granby Recreation Department at 970-887-3961.

Kids learned about the tools firefighters use when Kremmling Fire Protection District participated in Touch a Truck Day in May 2023. West Grand Elementary School kindergartners got to interact with lots of first responder vehicles and heavy equipment.
