Kids Like Their Toys

Touch A Truck Event in Downtown Opelika

Opelika's Touch a Truck

Kids love their trucks and Saturday was a day for them to not only “Touch a Truck”, but sit in the drivers seat, blow the horn or siren and have some fun.  The event was to help the Toys for Tots program, so folks attending were asked to bring a toy, but trust me, noone was turned away if they didn’t have one.  Tried to get a picture of Redman in the back of a police car, but all he would say was, “Lord, Not Again, Not Again!”  I’ll be adding more pictures to the “flickr photostream” later today.
