We had a fantastic time at New Albany’s Touch-A-Truck event! Families stopped by to explore our snowplow truck, get a closer look at the equipment we use to keep our roadways safe, and pick up some fun giveaways. The day was filled with lots of excitement, curious kids, and wonderful conversations with the community. Thank you to the New Albany, Ohio Government for hosting such a fun and engaging event!
