π THANK YOU, ALGONQUIN TOWNSHIP! π
What a wonderful day at Touch A Truck 2026!
As Highway Commissioner, I sincerely want to thank all of the residents, families, and community members who chose to spend part of their Saturday with us. Seeing everyone exploring the trucks, meeting the people behind them, and simply enjoying time together is what makes this event so special.
A tremendous amount of work goes into making Touch A Truck possible, and I cannot say enough about our Road District staff and volunteers. From the preparation leading up to today to everything that happened behind the scenes during the eventβthank you. Your hard work, patience, and commitment to our community made today possible.
We were also incredibly fortunate to have so many community partners join us. A very special thank you to the McHenry County Sheriff's Office, Cary Fire Protection District, Fox River Grove Fire Department, and Fox River Grove Police Department for spending the day with us and helping make this event such a great experience.
And HUGE kudos to the Fox River Grove Lions Club and Kona Ice! π§π¦ Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the day and helping us take care of everyone who came out to enjoy the event.
There is a saying that people may forget what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. I sincerely hope that everyone who joined us today felt welcome and includedβduring our Sensory Friendly Hour and throughout the entire event.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve this community, and days like today are a wonderful reminder of what can happen when residents, employees, volunteers, first responders, local organizations, and businesses all come together.
Thank you again for spending your day with us. πβ€οΈ
