Hands On Locust

Hands on Locust is an event that gives kids the opportunity to see a variety of service vehicles. This event is free and open to the public. We invite local businesses with service related vehicles and equipment to participate in this event. Trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles, commercial vehicles, equipment, and training resources are all welcome!

9:00-10:00 AM will be a sensory hour for those who may be sensitive to lights and sounds. During this time, all participating vehicles will be asked to refrain from the use of lights and sirens. Also, a limited number of noise blocking headphones will be available during the whole event from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, but please feel free to bring your own as well. Starting at 10:00 AM, lights and sirens will be allowed.

Do you own a truck, tractor, or equipment and would like to participate? Email Jessica Honeycutt, Program Coordinator, at jhoneycutt@locustnc.gov for more information.

Thanks to our sponsors, Ready Mix of the Carolinas, The Biz Exchange and First Bank for making this event happen FREE for the community!
