TOUCH A TRUCK, 9 a.m.-noon May 13, Greenwood Department of Public Works, 367 S. Washington St.
Few things inspire awe in kids (of all ages) than some heavy duty machinery. Greenwood offers a unique opportunity to get up close to some of the city’s most imposing vehicles, where kids can climb in and imagine they’re piloting everything from fire trucks to construction machines to snow plows.
Hosted by Greenwood Parks and Recreation, the event costs $2 per child.
