The Cub Scout Pack 439 of Tabernacle will hold its annual Touch-a-Truck Family Festival on Sunday, Sept. 25.

The Touch-a-Truck Family Festival is an annual fund raiser. The pack invites all people with trucks in all different shapes and sizes.

“The trucks can be anything you think of, fire trucks, pickups, farm trucks, ambulances, anything,” Denise Sunbury said.

The fund raiser has been around for several years and was created to raise money for the pack, but also give the boys in the community something exciting to do.

“We wanted to do something fun and exciting for the boys, not just the boys in the Cub Scout Pack, but also the boys in the community,” Sunbury said.

In addition to the trucks that will be at the festival, there will be many other activities that members of the community will be able to participate in.

“This is going to be fun for the entire community,” Sunbury said. “We are going to have face painting, moon bouncing, a DJ that is going to play music, crafts and, of course, concession stands, because everyone has to eat.”

This year Cub Scout Pack 439 is hoping to raise $3,000.

“In the past, we have raised anywhere between $1,000 and $2,800,” Sunbury said. “We have a lot of area businesses and sponsorships. We are trying to offset the cost and still provide a quality program for the boys. It’s so we don’t always have to go to the parents and say we need money for an activity we want to do with the boys.”

The Touch-a-Truck Family Festival will be held Sunday, Sept. 25 at Seneca High School in Tabernacle from noon to 4 p.m. The entrance fee is $10 per family.

Cub Scout Pack 439 is always looking for members. Any boy in grades one through five is able to join. For more information, contact Cub Master Bob Sunbury at 609–998–9008 or visit the group’s website www.tabernaclecubs.org.
