Touch A Truck 2025: Big Rigs, Bright Smiles & Community Fun

​On Friday, July 18, 2025, the Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCBDD) hosted its annual Touch A Truck event at 224 Patrick Avenue in Urbana. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., families came out to explore a wide variety of vehicles, meet local service workers, and enjoy a fun, interactive day.

Along with the vehicles, guests enjoyed hot dogs, chips, Kona Ice, and had fun with games like Plinko and Pick a Duck, plus temporary tattoos for kids. The event offered something for everyone and gave them the chance to get up close to big trucks, sit behind the wheel, and learn about the people who drive and operate them.

• Kona Ice
