St. Petersburg College’s Allstate Center will honor National Armed Forces Day with its Second Annual “Touch-a-Truck” event on Saturday, May 21. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Allstate Center, 3200 34th St. S., St. Petersburg.
“Touch-a-Truck” is a fun and affordable, family-friendly event where children, teens and parents can see impressive vehicles up close, learn about their functions and the exciting careers associated with those vehicles.
Last year more than 300 participants attended this event. This year, with help from community partners, St. Petersburg College expects twice as many attendees.
During the event, participants can have their photo taken with a military service person or veteran, a law enforcement officer or a first responder – to honor National Armed Forces Day.
Activities will include career and military exploration exhibits, employment opportunities and scholarship information. There will be free food, music and a rock-climbing wall, all provided through contributions from community partners.
