Sometimes you just got to toot your own horn instead of using the one on the Knight Collision tow truck
The 6th Annual BK Story Voyager Touch-A-Truck brought truckloads of fun to Manhattan Avenue. The sun came out and so did more children and parents than ever before!
Thanks to UPS, Waste Management, Knights Collision Auto Care Center, National Grid, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, MTA’s Vintage Bus, D’Arienzo Funeral Home, and the North Brooklyn Angels for bringing their trucks for the kids to touch. Also on hand were a bouncy houses, one in the shape of a fire truck, art projects, face painting, and regular family Yoga classes via Hosh Yoga. The event was sponsored by Bank of America, Newtown Creek Group, UPS, Waste Management, ExxonMobile, McDonalds, Panera Bread, and Broadway Stages. All the proceeds from ticket sales go to help fund the BK Story Voyager’s operating costs so it can continue its journey to inspire North Brooklyn’s children love of books and to improve literacy.
