Touch-a-Truck is back with frontline focus

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — The 9th annual Touch-a-Truck is almost here. Mark the date: Sunday, June 6.

The beloved Jackson Hole tradition is a free family event that draws over 1,200 locals and visitors for the opportunity to touch the levers, switches and gears that make construction, emergency, law enforcement, food service, and recreation vehicles move.

Touch-A-Truck also shows support for the vehicle operators who build, serve and protect our community every day and is an important fundraiser for the Jackson Hole Children’s Museum.

The 2021 Touch-a-Truck event will have a special element honoring the businesses, organizations, first responders, and medical personnel that have been on the frontlines, serving our community during the pandemic.
