ouch-A-Truck, an annual event held each year to raise funds for the Pioneer


attendance educated visitors about the vehicles and explained the services they provide. “T e fi rst hour of the event


was a quiet hour for families with young children or those who might be scared by loud noises or horns blaring,” Tedder-Loffl and said. “Most kids couldn’t wait to honk the horns and get a look from the driver’s seats.” T e event — moved to the fall


from its usual springtime date — was free to the public; however, donations were encouraged to benefi t the fi ve hometown branches of Pioneer Library System in Cleveland County and provide for improvements such as toys for the children’s departments and customer seating. It is attended annually by more than 3,000 parents and children and celebrates the value of community.
