Davie Gears Up for Family-Friendly Touch-a-Truck Event at Bergeron Rodeo GroundsSource: Town of Davie, Florida

Big wheels keep on turning in Davie, Fla., where the annual Touch-a-Truck event is set to roll into the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds on May 4, According to the Town of Davie's announcement, the popular free event will rev up from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., offering families a chance to get up close with a fleet of big rigs.

Kids of all ages will have an opportunity to get hands-on with fire engines, construction behemoths, and sanitation trucks, among others. Professionals who expertly navigate these massive machines through the town’s streets will be on hand, ready to field questions and share insights into their daily grind. It's a nod to the unsung heroes of the service industry, and the hulking vehicles that are their tools of trade.

Not everyone loves the blare of a big truck horn, which is why the organizers have cordoned off a special 'horn-free' hour from 9 to 10 a.m. This quieter window aims to make the event more accessible for children with sensitivities to loud noises, ensuring that fun isn't drowned out by the usual cacophony associated with these giants of the road.

Extra fun comes in the form of free kids' activities and live DJ music, making sure there's something for every pint-sized attendee. Peckish patrons will be pleased to find a selection of food and beverages for sale, though the rodeo grounds will be a no-go for any outside eats or drinks.
