Palm Coast hosted its third annual "Sky’s the Limit" Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, May 27.
The free event featured over 75 vehicles situated along Park Street and Lake Avenue at Town Center, according to a press release from Palm Coast.
Kids sat in the seats, honked the horns and used the remote controls in the vehicles. The event lasted from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a quiet hour from 10 to 11 a.m.
Among the trucks were utility vehicles from the city of Palm Coast Public Works, Stormwater, Utility and Fire Departments, the East Flagler Mosquito Control District and several towing companies.
The Flagler County Fire Rescue and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office brought service vehicles as well, including several FCSO armored vehicles and the Angel Flight helicopter.
Daytona International Speedway brought a NASCAR race car, while others brought classic cars and mud racing trucks.
Bikers from the group Bikers Against Child Abuse let kids sit on their motorcycles and take photos.
The Touch-A-Truck event was inspired by National Public Works Week, which ran from May 21-27 in 2023.
