Valpo Parks along with Dunes Leathernecks Detachment Marine Corps League hosted the third annual “Touch a Truck” Toys for Tots Toy Drive on Saturday, December 14. Kids of all ages enjoyed the opportunity to explore their favorite big rigs, such as fire trucks, police cars, buses, utility trucks, semi trucks and limos!
Santa and Mrs. Claus enjoyed the festivities, as well. The three-hour event collected approximately 12 barrels of toys and almost $500 for the local Toys for Tots campaign.
