Halloween Fun: WVAC Members Shine at Touch-a-Truck Events

A Spooktacular Season of Events

WVAC members had a fantastic time this Halloween season. They attended three different touch-a-truck events that brought joy to the community. Each event was unique and filled with excitement.

YMCA Spooktacular Trunk-or-Treat

The first event was the YMCA Spooktacular Trunk-or-Treat on October 18th. EMTs Dave Smith and David Schmidt were on hand to give out plenty of treats. They showcased our Halloween-themed ambulance, which was a hit with the kids. The atmosphere was festive, and everyone enjoyed the spooky decorations.

Wilton Chamber of Commerce Pumpkin Parade

Next up was the Wilton Chamber of Commerce Annual Pumpkin Parade. EMTs Brian McDermott, Esther Hilbers, and Polina Popova handed out tons of candy. It was a good thing we were right next to CVS, as the candy went fast! The event was bustling with families, and the excitement was palpable.

SEPTA's Sensory Friendly Touch-a-Truck

Finally, on November 1st, WVAC EMTs Shelley Keyes and Tom Klinga opened up the ambulance at SEPTA's Annual Sensory Friendly Touch-a-Truck. This event was designed to be inclusive, allowing children with sensory sensitivities to explore the vehicles in a calm environment. It was a wonderful opportunity for families to interact with our EMTs and learn about emergency services.

Conclusion

These touch-a-truck events were more than just fun; they were a way to connect with the community. WVAC members enjoyed engaging with families and sharing the importance of emergency services. We look forward to more events like these in the future!
