Life is too short to only have boring vehicles. That’s why Central School is hosting “Touch at Truck” on Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2021, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. outside Central School at 211 S. Center Street in Lake City, Iowa. Bring the kids, invite your family and friends, and come see cool vehicles up close, including cars from Smith Racing of Lake City, fire trucks from the Lake City Fire Department, trucks and equipment from the City of Lake City, a new 2022 electric car from Macke Motors, an Iowa State Patrol vehicle, a Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department patrol car, a John Deere tractor, and the Iowa Corn SUV. (Don’t miss Iowa Corn’s free giveaways for kids and adults!)
Check out the vehicles, take plenty of selfies, stop inside Central School for free refreshments, and bring the kids to story time. At 4:30 p.m. and again at 5 p.m., Central School Preservation board member Jan Dougherty will be reading the beloved children’s book, “Cars, Trucks and Things That Go!” by Richard Scarry.
We were inspired to host this unique event by the Winterset Public Library, which hosts Touch a Truck in their community. Please stop by for Touch a Truck on Aug. 17, and feel free to share this post.
Also, the Central School museum will be open for tours during this event, as well. We look forward to seeing you!
