Sure, the kids of Kennesaw are used to having trains around, but how about backhoes and firetrucks and stuff like that?

Exactly.

There will be a Touch-A-Truck event in Depot Park on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the city said.

The City of Kennesaw described it like so: “Imagine a playground that allows families to get up-close and personal with big trucks, heavy construction and public safety equipment, cool cars and specialty vehicles.”

Children will be able to pull levers, flip switches and shift gears. And who wouldn’t like that?

Admission is free. Food and drink will be available for purchase.
