The City of Summerville is gearing up for a unique and inclusive community event designed for individuals with special needs.

Mayor Rickey Hughes announced that Summerville will host a “Touch A Truck” sensory-friendly event on June 13th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon on East Washington Street.

The event will feature a wide variety of vehicles and equipment, including police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, tractors, tow trucks, and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the vehicles up close in a welcoming, reduced-noise environment tailored to sensory sensitivities.

Organizers say the event is focused on creating a friendly, supportive atmosphere with hands-on exploration, allowing children and families to interact with local first responders and community helpers in a comfortable setting.

Free Kona Ice will also be available, thanks to sponsorships from United Community Bank and Southeast First National Bank.

Mayor Hughes expressed appreciation to local exhibitors and sponsors for helping bring the event to life, noting it will be a special day for families across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia.

The community is invited to come out and enjoy a morning of learning, exploration, and fun in a safe and inclusive environment.
