SVEC In the Community – December 2025
For the sixth year, SVEC’s annual Touch-a-Truck event brought together families and neighbors from across our area to see, touch, honk, and explore a diverse range of service vehicles.
Touch-a-Truck, held the morning of November 22, gave children the chance to ride in a bucket truck with SVEC lineworkers, meet Sparky the Fire Dog, play in inflatables, and much more.
Along with the machines to explore, there were food and beverage vendors and many memorable activities.
