The Dunn Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce its first-ever Touch-A-Truck & Treat, taking place on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the parking lot of the Dunn Shrine Center. This free, family-friendly event invites the community to experience an up-close look at a wide variety of vehicles while enjoying a festive Halloween atmosphere—all in support of local schools.
Children will have the opportunity to explore trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles and more, with a chance to meet the people who operate them, and get a start on their Halloween candy collection in a fun and memorable evening for families.
“This event is a great way to bring our students and community together while highlighting the many industries that keep Dunn and the surrounding areas running,” said Executive Vice President of the Dunn Area Chamber of Commerce Kristina Harrell in a press release. “It’s hands-on, educational, and fun for the whole family—and it supports our efforts to showcase our schools.”
