From flashing lights, to sirens and loud horns, kids got a chance to learn more about vehicles they see in the Kearney community and the people who drive them. About 20 trucks of all shapes and sizes took part in the annual Roadway Heroes Touch-a-Truck event in Kearney on August 12.
Kearney Ready Mixed Concrete participated in the program allowing kids the chance to climb aboard a Concrete Truck. Cody Fielding, Melissa Tyron and Jerry Stithem talked to the kids about safety around the truck, emphasizing that truck drivers can’t see them in certain areas as well as three points of contact. The trio also handed out colored pencils and sheets for the kids to color.
The event is organized by the Kearney Area Children’s Museum. More than 300 people participated in the annual event.
