Submitted by JWL OF SMITHFIELD

SMITHFIELD — The Junior Women's League of Smithfield (JWL) will host its eighth annual Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Downtown Smithfield.

Touch-A-Truck is a unique and interactive fundraiser that allows children to see, touch and safely explore their favorite big trucks and heavy machinery, as well as to meet the personnel who protect, serve and build Johnston County communities.

Trucks on display will include emergency vehicles, tractors, machinery, construction equipment, farm equipment, service and delivery trucks and more.

This event will also include food trucks, inflatables, special guests, face painting and so much more. Admission is free.

Proceeds from Touch-A-Truck will directly benefit Johnston County through the Junior Women's League of Smithfield's initiatives like the Johnston County Blessing Boxes and scholarships for women. Funds also support grants for other Johnston County nonprofits to assist with the development of programs benefiting women and children. JWL has awarded over $155,000 in Community Impact Grants since its inception in January 2016.

JWL is actively seeking the support of the community through event sponsorships and commitments to showcase unique vehicles, which aren’t limited to just trucks. Details and registration forms are available at www.jwlsmithfield. com.
