Touch A Truck Raises $7,000 For Local Christmas Charity

Perhaps the most successful event during the recent Fantastic 4th Celebration in Mt. Carmel was a new event. The Touch A Truck attracted 67 different vehicles to Market Street and served as a fundraiser for the Shop With Cop, fireman, and Medic program. After all of the food was served and all of the raffle tickets were sold, organizers say $7,000 was raised during the four hour event. And, all of that money will stay in Wabash County buying Christmas presents for local youngsters. Police Chief Mike McWilliams told the city council Monday that they’re already looking to a bigger, better event in 2024.  As for the rest of the Fantastic 4th events, McWilliams said no problems were reported including the fireworks.
