Small kids check out big trucks in Marion

May 11, 2014

Kids often pretend to be behind the wheel of a fire truck, police cruiser or ambulance, but on Saturday they didn't have to use their imaginations.

The Marion Recreation Department's second annual Big Truck Day brought those vehicles and more to the Town House field. Children scrambled on construction vehicles, explored the town ambulance and sat in the driver's side of a police car.

Marion Recreation Director Jody Dickerson launched Big Truck Day last year. After it proved to be a success he said it only made sense to bring it back this year.
