There’s something about big trucks that brings families back to Gainesville’s City Park every year. Gainesville Parks and Recreation’s annual Touch-A-Truck event is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. The free event gives children a chance to look at, climb on and get inside vehicles of all types and sizes and interact with the people who drive them.
