Conesville Fire Department’s Touch a Truck Event has become an annual fall tradition in Conesville. This year’s main event is scheduled for September 7, 2024 from 12:00-4:00 with a square dance in the evening at 7pm hosted by the Conesville HIstorical Society.  A wide variety of trucks and machinery will be present at the Fire Department and Town Field (1292 State Route 990V, Gilboa). Among the highly anticipated attractions: Lifenet  helicopter (pending weather and availability), fire trucks from across the region, and construction equipment. Also, visitors can partake in FREE fire extinguisher training, walk through the fire simulation trailer, and watch demonstrations from emergency services. There will be bounce houses and new this year — a climbing rock wall! All are invited to join in on the fun!

Admission to the event is free.  There will be refreshments and items  available for purchase from an array of local vendors.  In addition, The Fire Department will be hosting a Chicken BBQ during the event.
