The Junior League of Greenwich recently held it’s 19th Touch A Truck! at Greenwich Town Hall under a stunning, blue sky and perfect summer-like temperatures.
Welcoming more than 2,000 attendees, the Junior League’s hands-on, family-friendly community event allowed children to climb, explore, and interact with heavy machinery and emergency vehicles.

Besides the variety of trucks, food, entertainment, and goodies for families, the JLG had VIP access as well as Reduced Sensory time for children who benefit from a smaller group setting without the loud sirens and flashing lights.
“It was an absolutely picture-perfect day for photos and fun, and just seeing the smiles, laughter, and awe from so many children warms your heart,” said Sammie Jacobs, President of the Junior League of Greenwich. “We also sponsored 20 local families and clients of our community partners to come enjoy the event free of charge.”
Three new activities to Touch A Truck! this year were a bubble machine, mini-golf, and scavenger hunt for trucks of all shapes and sizes.
Meanwhile, back by popular demand was the trackless train ride.
Children also enjoyed breaking boards with SSDS Martial Arts and putting bandages on the GEMS life sized teddy bear.
The Junior League of Greenwich thanks the generous truck operators as well as 50 volunteers who donated 150+ hours to help make this magical day another exciting success for the books.
