FRANKFORT, Ohio — The Concord Township Volunteer Fire Department is hosting its fourth annual Touch-A-Truck event Sunday at Brad Lightle Park, giving families a chance to climb aboard fire trucks and other big vehicles while enjoying free food and activities.
The free event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and includes a bike giveaway, face painting, free hot dogs, chips and water, and an ice cream truck, according to a flyer the department posted on Facebook. The department said the gathering is meant to show its appreciation for the community it serves.
Friends of the Village, a Frankfort community organization, is holding a kickball tournament the same day, adding another draw for families headed to the park.
Brad Lightle Park sits along the Tri-County Triangle Trail and is a regular stop for bicyclists, runners and walkers passing through the village, according to the village’s website. The park is overseen by local volunteers who also handle shelter house reservations for residents.
Concord Township Volunteer Fire Department operates out of its station on West Springfield Street in Frankfort, relying on a mix of part-time and volunteer staff to respond to calls throughout the township.
