  “We are so fortunate to be able to present this fun family event to our local community”, said Russ Facione, chair of BYA’s Touch-a-Truck event.  “We have all of the best trucks present, from fire trucks to police vehicles, big rigs to cranes, we’ve got them! All kids enjoy being able to sit in the cabs of the trucks, and act like they are driving their very own rig. And this year we will even have a BPS school bus as well.”
