“Touch-A-Truck,” a family-focused event sponsored by She's the Veteran, a local non-profit serving active and inactive female military veterans, will return to Mt. Pleasant on October 21st from 10 am to 2 pm.
The event, which provides an opportunity for children to engage interactively with trucks and vehicles provided by local businesses and services, will be held at Moultrie Middle School (645 Coleman Boulevard).
