By 1pm Saturday, all our 'swag' give-a-ways where gone! That's 1000 hard hats,

1000 vests, 1000 RFC coloring books and 636 Pet Rock Kits! The sandbox was packed all day. The remote-controlled equipment was always moving. Touch-a-Truck seems to get more and more people every year!


Check out the fun!


Special shout-out to Stephany S, Amber W, and Donna M for volunteering their Saturday to staff the RFC booth. And a thank you to the guys from GRI who built the sandbox on Friday. As well as a thank you to the drivers of the equipment.
