CASA's Touch-a-Truck

CASA of South Mississippi’s Touch A Truck is a FREE event that gives local children and adults alike a chance to fulfill childhood curiosities while learning and interacting with the businesses of the community. Touch A Truck is different than a car show. Kids can interact with not only the trucks, but with the “heroes” that drive and operate them.
