The weather did not put a damper on attendance at this weekend’s fun filled fundraiser! Well over 1000 children and their families braved the rain to attend Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Fourth Annual Touch-A-Truck and Food Truck Festival on Sunday, May 31, 2015. The event, held at Hopkinton High School, raised $11,000 for the restoration, renovation and expansion of Hopkinton Public Library. Children climbed in the driver’s seats and honked the horns of over 50 trucks, cars, construction, military, emergency and other vehicles. Families enjoyed tasty treats from local food trucks. Many took a ride on the Roaming Railroad, got their faces painted by Joelle Crosby of Joelle’s Skincare and Makeup, made a craft with the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and visited with Queen Elsa from Fairy Tale Parties.
Touch-A-Truck was generously sponsored by Next Generation Children’s Centers, Paul M. Phipps Insurance Agency, The Razor’s Edge, and Kumon of Hopkinton. Pink Truck Designs, Lisa at Mickey Guru Travel, Next Step Living, and LeafFilter, Inc., added to the festivities as vendors.
Hopkinton Public Library Foundation wishes to thank all the local businesses who made Touch-A-Truck a huge success by donating their time and trucks, as well as the incredible number of families who attended Touch-A-Truck. Special thanks to the numerous Hopkinton High School students and others who volunteered at the event. For more pictures from the event and a list of all the participating trucks, please visit the HPLF website and the HPLF Facebook page.
