The rain came a touch sooner than we’d hoped but it didn’t put too much of a damper on this incredibly fun event!

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated in, volunteered at, and helped make our Touch A Truck & Community Resource Fair such a success. We were thrilled to welcome over 500 members of our community this year!

From climbing aboard some cool vehicles to meeting local organizations, playing games, and enjoying all the activities, it was wonderful to see so many families.

Thank you for helping us kick off our Plant A Seed, Read Summer Reading Program in such an exciting way. We hope everyone had a blast, and we can’t wait to see you at Ida Public Library all summer long!
