Thank you so much to those who came to our recent Touch-A-Truck event, making it such a success!

The Public Works Department had 500 vests to hand out and completely ran out at 3:15!

We are incredibly appreciative of all of our City's departments, crews, TVA, Waste Connections, ABA Centers of Tennessee, Roan State, and EQAB for coming together to put this event on.

We can't wait to do this event again next year, but we want to make it perfect for you! As this is just our second time doing this event, the first time being in the Library parking lot with no more than 8 vehicles, and now in A.K. Bissell Park with almost double the vehicles, we still have room to improve.

Your opinion and ideas matter! Please take this quick survey about the event so we can make it better for next year. https://ayrs.io/SR8kvC
