You know that cute jacket you just broke out of storage for the child in your life? It’s about to get super-stained super quickly, so get some cute pictures before that happens!

A good place to do that would be at the Touch A Truck going on at the Zaxby’s on Delk Road this Saturday.

The free event encourages kiddos to climb all over those vehicles they point out in traffic.

There’ll be a stretch Hummer, a USPS mail truck, a Humvee, a dump truck, a tow truck and a street sweeper in addition to the cruisers Cobb police and the sheriff’s office are set to bring.

You can also use this as a test run for that child’s Halloween costume to see how it stretches and moves in high-pressure, kid-like situations.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
