Yahir Ortiz, 8 (center), and Santiago Ortiz, 6, receive sticker badges from a Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife officer on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, while aboard one of Crawford County’s three AGFC patrol boats at an annual Touch-a-Truck community event hosted by the United Way of Fort Smith Area in the parking lot of Van Buren High School in Van Buren. The free child safety and wellness event featured fire trucks, police cars, semi-truck trailers, motorcycles, a race car, cement mixer, boat, bomb squad unit and many other life-size vehicles and heavy machinery, all of which children could touch and explore in order to learn more about local emergency, military and construction mobile operations. Several organizations also set up booths offering literature, goodies and services relating to child safety and wellness. Visit nwaonline.com/220622Daily/ for today's photo gallery.
