It’s that time of year. A time when the children of Huntsville get an amazing opportunity.
It’s time for the Sci-Quest Hands-On Trucks event, this Saturday, May 10, 2014 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
The Interview
I recently sat down with 2 gentlemen who are experts in “trucks”. Here’s what they had to say about Sci-Quest’s Hands -On Trucks event.
Q: If you could visit one place and get to see a whole bunch of big trucks, would you like that?
RJ: That would be awesome!
DJ: Yeah!
Q: What’s your favorite big truck?
RJ: A Firetruck!
DJ: I like a firetruck with a big ladder!
Q: What about a seeing a big cement mixer?
RJ: Yeah!
DJ: To mix up Mac & Cheese!
At this point the interview took a turn toward what’s for dinner. But I think it’s safe to say that kids love big trucks, and they’ll thank you for a visit to the Hands-On Trucks event!
