It’s Touch-a-Truck family day in Cherry Hill

The Cherry Hill Silver Diner, located on Rt. 38 across from the Cherry Hill Mall, will host the second annual “Touch-a-Truck” family day on Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise money for Build Jake’s Place, an organization dedicated to constructing and operating Boundless Playgrounds where children of all abilities can play together. Trucks of all types will be available for kids to see, touch and, in many cases, even blow the horn and grab the wheel. Kids and parents alike can sit in the cabs of a fire engine, pretend to be a big rig driver, or hang out in a luxury “super duty” pickup.

The Touch-A-Truck event will feature a fire truck, emergency vehicles, big rigs, a dump truck, construction vehicles and more. A “Fun Bus,” live music, face painting, auction items and many free activities will keep kids of every age enthralled. The event will feature appearances by the Philadelphia Ghostbusters, complete with Proton Packs, and the 501st Northeast Remnant Star Wars Costumers.

During the Touch-A-Truck event, the Silver Diner will donate a percentage of its dining proceeds (eat-in or take-out) to Build Jake’s Place. All local families, especially families of children with special needs, are invited to attend. The event cost is $20 per family or $7 per person. More information can be found on the website www.buildjakesplace.org or at 662–4418.
