Around 106 families, representing 159 adults and 229 children, participated in the ninth annual Big Truck Night Thursday at Hills­boro Elementary School, according to organizers. In the past couple of years, the event has been a joint effort supported by the agencies and services within the Marion County Early Childhood Task Force. Big Truck Night provides a fun family learning environment filled with truck exploration, developmentally appropriate outdoor play experiences, social connections and exposure to community resources.
