Our Next Event
Touch A Truck
Are you ready for a day of family fun and exploration? The United Way of Fort Smith Area is thrilled to announce the return of their much-loved annual Touch A Truck events! Mark your calendars for two exciting dates: June 10th at the OG&E River Valley Power Plant in Panama, OK, and June 17th at Van Buren High School in Van Buren, AR. These events offer a unique opportunity for children and families to get up close and personal with an impressive array of vehicles, from towering fire trucks to sleek police cars, and everything in between.
Touch A Truck is not only an exhilarating experience for the young and young at heart but also a fantastic way to learn more about resources available to families in the areas of safety and wellness.. Admission is FREE, and lunch will be provided.
Whether you're a truck enthusiast or just looking for a fun outing with the family, the Touch A Truck events promise laughter, learning, and lasting memories. Don't miss your chance to honk a horn, sit behind the wheel, and experience the thrill of these mighty machines. We hope to see you there, ready to touch, explore, and play!
