BIG TRUCKS ARE BACK AT SOMERSETT FOR TOUCH-A-TRUCK AND FALL FESTIVAL
Somersett is gearing up for their 3rd annual Touch-A-Truck and Fall Festival on Saturday, October 24 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in Somersett Town Square. The free family event gives children and families a chance to see some very unique vehicles up close. Whether it is a fire engine, ambulance, steam roller, street sweeper or a front loader, kids can get up close and talk to the operators to learn about the job and the vehicle! Everyone can also enjoy a Fall Festival in the Town Square featuring a fall themed Farmers Market including fresh pies and other treats of the season. Minton Family Farms will have vine-fresh tomatoes, nuts, apples, persimmons, and other fruit of the season. Other activities will include a haunted house, pumpkin patch, pumpkin walk, hayrides, Velcro and rock walls, live music by “Ambush”, beer, cider, brats, caramel apples, and a free raffle. The first 140 children who arrive in their Halloween costumes will also receive a free treat. The event will also include a non-perishable food drive to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. Wagon Ride tickets will be $2 or free with the donation of 6 non-perishable food items; Pumpkin walk $1 or 3 non-perishable food items. There will be a costume contest and parade at 2pm with prizes awarded.
