We had such a fun time at our 2022 Touch-a-Truck event on Saturday. Big turnout and a beautiful day!
Just received word that the Vermont National Guard will NOT be able to make a helicopter landing possible tomorrow for our Touch-a-Truck event. They were very apologetic saying that they are short staffed, just like everyone else, and hope to be able to work with us on an event next year. We'll still have trucks and equipment, so come on down around 10 and we'll do our best to have a great morning!
Snow cones and cotton candy available to help with the heat...
Just a reminder that Touch-a-Truck is coming to the library this Saturday, May 21, from 10-12noon. We want to thank everyone that helped pull this event together including Casella Waste Management, Mosher Excavating, Killington Town Garage, Killington Volunteer Fire Department, and the Vermont Army National Guard. We'll have all sorts of cool equipment and the guard will be landing a helicopter on the ball field behind the library! So bring the kids and the cameras and join us for a quick story time before we explore the trucks! All ages welcome!
*Be aware that you may need to park on River Road as the parking lot will be needed to park the large equipment.
It's a great day for sitting outside! What's your favorite spot in town to get some outdoor reading done on a day like today?
