Save the Date for Touch-a-Truck NRV
The New River Valley Home Builders Association (NRVHBA) is proud to present the 9th Annual Touch-A-Truck NRV event on Saturday, August 17th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Uptown Christiansburg, 782 New River Road, in the back parking lot. The NRVHBA is seeking vendors to be part of the experience. Any NRV, or surrounding area, business or individual who has a vehicle that matches with the event’s goal of education are welcome to apply. If you have a vehicle that you would like to show off such as a truck, tractor, excavator, or any business, construction, or service vehicle, please visit www.touchatrucknrv.com.
This family event is a fun way to get children’s imaginations in gear so they can become familiar with building industry and public service careers. The event offers an educational opportunity to explore trucks, tractors, and heavy machinery and to interact with the people who build, protect, and serve the NRV. Our community’s children will get to have a safe and hands-on learning experience by safely exploring the vehicles, blasting the sirens and honking horns while also asking questions with the men and women who operate them on the job. For those with sensitive ears, the event will be horn and siren-free from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ticket sales begin July 1 and are $8 per family ticket (valid for up to four attendees) and $3 per individual ticket. Children 2 and under are free. Save time at the door by purchasing tickets online ahead of time. Tickets will also be available for sale at the door. Proceeds from this event go towards the New River Valley Home Builders Association and the NRVHBA Microgrant fund which provides funding for special projects and/or materials within elementary and secondary classrooms that align with the workforce development interests of the home building and construction industry.
