Bouncing, honking and school bus graffiti were all part of what was seen and heard at the fifth annual Touch a Truck event August 18 at the Port Elgin Main Beach hosted by the Saugeen Shores Kin Club.

The event included over 25 vehicles from fire trucks to mobility buses to cement mixers and drew a crowd of approximately 900 people.

Each year the Kin Club has donated a portion of the proceeds to various community endeavours and this year is no exception as the community group will donate $2,500 towards a new pool in Saugeen Shores by way of the advocacy group SSRAPnow (Saugeen Shore Recreation Centre and Pool Now).
