Experience Tractor Town at Touch A Truck This Saturday
Submitted by Connelly-Anne Ragley, Active Member
With Junior League of Columbia’s
Touch A Truck event right around the corner, the committee is excited to
announce a special partnership with Lexington County Farm-City to bring a whole
new world of agricultural machinery to Touch A Truck attendees. With the event being held at the State Farmers Market in West Columbia, this seemed like a natural arrangement to
present farm equipment to Midlands’ families.
Lexington County Farm-City was organized in 1995 with the mission
to increase awareness of how farm and city people depend on each other for
growing, processing and distributing food, fiber, fuel and a growing list of
other products. Some of their past
programs have included: Farm-City Week kick-off banquets, annual Job Exchange
for a day between a farmer and non-farmer, Farm-City Showcase, Youth Leadership
Lexington Tour, FFA Annual Appreciation Night and Scholarships for FFA
students in each of the high schools in Lexington County with FFA programs.
The Junior League of Columbia and Lexington
County Farm-City hope to see you at the State Farmers Market this Saturday to
experience Tractor Town and Touch A Truck! Tickets are $6 each with children under 2 free with each paying adult or
a family 4-pack of tickets for $20. Tickets are available at the door! For
more information, please visit the Junior League of Columbia's website.Thursday, April 4, 2013
Local Crime Fighters on Display on April 13, 2013
Submitted by Connelly-Anne Ragley, Active Member
Touch A Truck, the newest Junior League of Columbia fundraiser and family event, will be held on Saturday, April 13, 2013. We're headed back to the State Farmers Market in West Columbia and look forward to transforming the market into a world of big rigs and heavy machinery for young and old alike to see up close! After a successful event in 2012, the Touch A Truck committee is 'cranked up' and ready to bring even more exciting exhibits to the event.
The 4th annual Touch A Truck event will feature all things that go! Kids have the opportunity to explore big vehicles like emergency vehicles, tractors and agricultural equipment, cement trucks, bulldozers and antique military vehicles.
This year, we are pleased to feature some of the men and women who build, protect and serve the Midlands. From the SC Forestry Commission, Lexington County Fire and EMS and Lexington County Sheriff's Office to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Richland County Sheriff's Office, there will be no shortage of cool crime fighting vehicles on display this year. Touch A Truck is also excited to have a KidPrint station on hand at the event for a chance to have a child's fingerprint made in case of emergency. As always, we appreciate the service and sacrifice of these law enforcement, fire and rescue squads and all the individuals who help keep our communities and neighborhoods safe!
This community event also features family-friendly entertainment, public safety information and healthy eating activities from JLC's Kids in the Kitchen. This year, we will also have "Tractor Town," a section of the event dedicated to the agriculture industry, sponsored by Lexington County Farm City. Mascots, face painting and other amusements round out the fun.
Come join us on April 13th! Get your tickets here!

Luck of the JLC at the St. Patrick's Day Parade
Submitted by Provisionals Danielle Payne and Chamarlyn Fairley

What do you get when you mix 40 enthusiastic Junior League women and a St. Patrick's Day Parade? A fun morning filled with a float, candy, flyers and advertisements for the newest fundraising project for the Junior League, Touch a Truck!
Junior League of Columbia celebrated everyone's favorite green holiday by participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 16th. Active and provisional members of JLC walked in the parade for the second straight year to promote Touch A Truck. Provisionals, as one of their projects, decorated and coordinated the parade participation.
To our surprise, the large enthusiastic crowd started shouting "Touch A Truck" and "Junior League" as we walked by. The League members waved and had a great interaction with the crowd encouraging them to attend the event.
This fun event allowed JLC to team up with other groups in the community, including Family Connections, to support each group's cause and of course, St. Patrick's Day. Don't forget to purchase your tickets for Touch a Truck, which will be held on April 13, 2013 at the State Farmers Market in West Columbia. We hope to see you there!
