But the guys with the trucks were satisfied....they were able to please lots of children.
On this Saturday the skies were clear but it sure was windy! ....Did I mention cool? The gentlemen in the above photo had the right idea! Wool uniforms!

All of us had quite a laugh the evening before when my "go to guy" Patrick made the comment that he hoped all of Parksley was awake by the time the mudtrucks rolled into town. Each truck has an enormous powerful roar of a voice when it runs and I couldn't help but laugh out loud that day at the deafening sound these powerful trucks made as they were unloaded and lined up in the street.

For those that may not know "Touch A Truck" is an event that allows children the chance to see up close the many types of vehicles they see on a daily basis. Most of the children who sat in the trucks on Saturday couldn't see over the window in any of the trucks! They all had a great time.
I can't forget to mention that right in the middle of the "Touch A Truck" was a boat! This gentleman was quite interesting to talk to and drew a crowd just as large as the trucks on display. This racing boat is one of many up and down DelMarVa. They can be seen racing in Chestertown, Oxford and even Crisfield. (Just to name a few) MORE PHOTOS FROM THE DAYS EVENT
