Ridgewood NJ, Touch-a-Truck 2015 Rolls Into Ridgewood May 14 Join Us for a Day of Imagination & Fun! Imagine taking a seat behind the wheel of a real police cruiser ready to roll, climbing aboard a shiny fire truck as you prepare to battle a blaze, exploring up-close a fleet of the other emergency and public works vehicles you’ve only seen at a distance on the streets of Ridgewood. Treat your children to a day of hands-on adventure, featuring opportunities to climb on board the vehicles that touch their lives, when “Touch-a-Truck 2015” rolls into downtown Ridgewood’s Memorial Park at Van Neste Square on Thursday, May 14 (Rain date: Thursday, Oct. 8) . Ridgewood emergency and public works vehicles will be ready for action along the Oak Street side of the park from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. as the local heroes who serve the Village also will be on hand to share their favorite tales about the exciting work they perform every day. As an added bonus, they’ll be a Safetytown Kiddie-Car Driving Track hosted by the Ridgewood Police Department and Little Ivy Learning Center. . . a special Truck Storytime hosted by the Ridgewood Public Library and more! Touch-a-Truck, a free event co-sponsored by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Ridgewood, is coordinated by Ridgewood’s Little Ivy Learning Center as part of its ongoing commitment to serve our community’s children and their families. We look forward to meeting your family on Touch-a-Truck Day!

What a lovely event, so much fun for all, great weather. Councilman Sedon and his son look great.
RIdgewood’s event was free to all. The one at Paramus’ Garden State Plaza this coming Sunday is $30 for a family of 4. Yet another great thing about Ridgewood.
yes great stuff from the street dept. and the workers from the that dep’t was a big help. the kid’s love the trucks & equipment the best. it would be grate to do on a weekend .
My boys are in college now but this was always their favorite in-town events.
All the village employees were super friendly and helpful, it was an all-around wonderful day.

What are you suggesting? Every imaginable vehicle was there. They had little cars for the kids to ride on a track. They had matchbox cars for the kids to play with. Tons of handouts, hats, coloring books, flashlights, lollipops. It was awesome. What more could you think of?
