Event Details
OVG360, operators of the Tribute Communities Centre, is excited to announce the return of Touch-a-Truck. This year's ninth annual Touch-a-Truck event is presented by Oshawa Power and will be on Friday, August 25, 2023 from 4pm to 8pm in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham. This free community event will be hosted outside and around the Tribute Communities Centre and is a fun, hands on event that allows children of all ages to get up close and personal with more than 40 vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Children will love the interactive displays and the opportunity to learn about the vehicles from the drivers.
“After last year’s largest turnout yet, we can’t wait to see what is in store for this year’s Touch-a-Truck event,” said William Balfour, Assistant General Manager and Director of Marketing & Sales for OVG360. “We continue to be blown away by the ongoing support of community partners that fuel this event year after year and are excited to have Oshawa Power come on board as presenting sponsor this year to help continue making this event possible for the community.”
“Oshawa Power is a proud member of the Oshawa community. We are excited to partner with OVG360 as the presenting sponsor to bring Touch-a-Truck, an engaging, informative and family-friendly event, to our community. We always look forward to showing kids and parents the important work we do and the safety features and equipment that keep us and our community safe” said Mike Weatherbee, Managing Director for Oshawa Power.
Although the event is free for the community to attend, OVG360 encourages all attendees to donate what they can afford to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham during the event at their booth located by the BBQ area. This year’s event will again satisfy attendee’s taste buds as the OVG360 team fires up the grill to provide a charity BBQ for attendees. Touch-a-Truck is a free event to enter, however certain activities may be subject to a cost such as face painting, BBQ, etc.
Don't forget Kars on King is happening on Friday, August 25 as well in downtown Oshawa!
