This past weekend, the annual “Touch a Truck for Autism Awareness” event was held in the Peabody REC center. The event is hosted in a different town in Massachusetts each year to bring awareness to Autism.

Fire Trucks, police cars and ambulances, along with many other trucks from different fields, including our own city DPW truck, were made available for interaction. Many kids benefited from the experience and fun was had by all. Look for a full description on the events Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/388050488220920/
