This unique community wide event is held on the first Saturday in October. It’s designed for children and adults to see, touch, learn and interact with dozens of fascinating vehicles. Touch a Truck will include ambulances, fire trucks, cranes, dump trucks, school buses, 18 wheelers, antique cars, radio controlled vehicles, and maybe a helicopter or hot air balloon! An inflatable playground, as well as many other children’s activities will be onsite for children of all ages to enjoy. Touch a Truck will also feature entertainment, prizes, community booths, an envelope game, a silent auction, and lots of good food.

Coats for Kids Drive

November 16, 2024

Coats for Kids is an annual event held on the second Saturday in November to provide warm coats for school age children. Participating dry cleaners collect donated new and gently used coats from the public and unclaimed coats from schools. Caps, scarves and gloves have been added to ensure that kids stay warm. Area retailers sell coats at a discount to LCM so all sizes are available on the "Coats for Kids" day. You can help with the Coats for Kids program by collecting gently used coats during the year, especially small child sizes, and donating them at designated dry cleaners in October. A list of participating dry cleaners will be published in September.
