Event Chairman Nicolas Limanov expressed his appreciation to everyone who contributed to the eventโ€™s success. โ€œThe support we receive from our community continues to be incredible,โ€ Limanov said. โ€œFrom our volunteers and sponsors to our exhibitors, first responders, entertainers, and families who attend, every person plays a role in making Touch-A-Truck such a meaningful event. Raising more than $5,000 for programs that serve local children and families is something we can all be proud of.โ€
