Touch a Truck Announces 2012 Date Saturday, March 24th

One of my favorite Las Vegas Family Events!

This is a one of my all-time favorite Las Vegas family events! Read my story about 2011.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 24th at the Orleans Arena!

Last year had the Wienermobile, ambulances, construction equipment, and a helicopter even landed at the event. Sheer heaven for all the kids in my family.

If your kids love emergency vehicles this is the place to be with great opportunities to see everything from police cars to fire engines even the SWAT trucks up close!

Check out the official website here. All proceeds go to benefit Family to Family connection. If you have a cool truck and want to bring it to the event complete this form here and send it in. The site has not been updated for 2012 yet but I am sure they could use your support and sponsorship starting now.

Wienermobile, Mandalay Bay Shark Transport Truck, and More at Touch A Truck This Year!

First of all Touch a Truck is a great community event for families every year with vehicles from throughout the community from fire trucks to hot air balloons.

As confirmed on the Touch a Truck Facebook page this year’s Touch a Truck will be on March 19th! (Become a fan to keep up to date)

This year will be the fourth year I am taking my kids. Everyone even our teenager can’t wait to get a chance to see vehicles up close. Check out the list of vehicles.

Proceeds will benefit Family to Family Connection, Las Vegas West, a non-profit organization offering free support and information for kids, parents and families in Nevada. Sensitive to the needs of children overwhelmed by loud noises the event has a quiet hour with no horns or amplification from 8:30 to 9:30 so children with special needs can enjoy the fun.

If you have a super cool vehicle you would like to share with the public complete this form or call (702)870-9583 to have your vehicle in the show.

This morning I got so excited I had to run immediately to my computer to be the first Las Vegas blogger to share that officially the Wienermobile will be at Touch a Truck!

I can’t wait! Reading the HotDoggerBlog leaves me wanting more Wienermobile. I even follow the HotDogger Crew on Twitter. I wonder which fine Wiener themed vehicle will grace Touch a Truck?

I keep encouraging my children to aspire to become a member of the HotDoggers to travel the county in a 27 foot wiener but they keep telling me no!

I hope to one day take a spin in the great wiener down the strip under the neon lights. Who wouldn’t want that on their bucket list?

Exciting news! Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef will be bringing out their shark transport truck with a LIVE SHARK!!!!!!!!
