Touch-A-Truck is a unique and interactive fundraiser that allows children to see, touch, and safely explore their favorite big trucks and heavy machinery, as well as to meet the personnel who protect, serve, and build Johnston County communities. Trucks on display will include emergency vehicles, tractors, machinery, construction equipment, farm equipment, service and delivery trucks, and more.

Admission is free to the event, with all-access passes to the Playland available for $5. The playland includes bounce houses, face painting, games, and more. Train rides will be available for $2 each. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted. Make sure to bring your appetite— the Fueling Station will feature a wide variety of food trucks, perfect for satisfying every craving.

​

Proceeds from Touch-A-Truck will directly benefit Johnston County through the Junior Women's League of Smithfield's initiatives like the Johnston County Blessing Boxes and scholarships for women. Funds also support grants for other Johnston County non-profits to assist with the development of programs benefiting women and children. JWL has awarded over $195,000 in Community Impact Grants, league initiatives, and Student Scholarships since its inception in 2015.

​

JWL’s members will collect non-perishable food and personal care items to be placed in JWL’s Blessing Boxes throughout Johnston County. Look for the collection site under the Touch-A-Truck flag! Attendees can drop off items or monetary donations at the black 1934 rat rod featuring the JWL logo, sponsored by Teddy Bland, realtor with HomeTowne Realty Clayton East.
