“Touch-a-Truck” highlighting last Farmers Market of the season
The last Le Mars Farmers Market is being held tomorrow morning, and to mark the occasion, NIPCO is holding their second annual “Touch-a-Truck” event. Several types of trucks and large vehicles will be showcased and open to visitors at the Farmers Market.
Angela Catton, vice president of communications and development for NIPCO, listed the trucks to be shown on Saturday to KLEM.
Catton says the event is great for kids, who tend to be fascinated by the trucks on display.
Catton says that she encourages families to come out, and that NIPCO will have plastic hard hats, stickers, and other goodies. The Farmers Market itself will have food trucks, live music, kids’ tattoos, and deals on ice cream. The Farmers Market and “Touch-a-Truck” opens at 9 a.m. Saturday, and ends at noon.

The 18-hole tournament starts at noon, with lunch provided by the Pork Producers. Registration for a team of four is $300, and all proceeds from the tournament will go back into the community as well as fund new improvements to the YMCA. Previous tournaments have helped purchase new workout equipment, a new security system, new landscaping, and a memorial to Todd. This year, the YMCA’s goals are to replace old leg curl and hip adduction machines, and to fund a summer camp scholarship for a child in need.
You can register for the tournament online or in person at the Le Mars YMCA, or at the Willow Creek Golf Course.
