CASPER, Wyo. — Excel Academy is inviting the public to a free-to-attend event where children can interact with trucks and pick out a pumpkin at a pumpkin patch for purchase.

The academy is expecting numerous firetrucks, police cars, sheriff vehicles and ambulances. There’ll also be a hot-air balloon, a Ghostbusters car, Atomic Annie Large pieces of equipment, tow trucks and more, event organizers said.

Participants also have the opportunity to have professional photos taken for a fee. Additionally, food trucks and a Kids Play Village Indoor Playground will also be present.

The “Touch a Truck” event occurs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., while the pumpkin patch is open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 500 S. Jefferson St.
