Prior to the start of the event, residents enjoyed an outdoor Touch-A-Truck exhibit in which they could explore fire trucks, ambulances and patrol cars while meeting local therapy dogs. It was a great opportunity for hands-on learning about our public safety partners and their role in protecting our community.
