Honkin' Haulin Hands-on Trucks, Beachwood

The Beachwood City, Ohio is located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States, and is also a suburb of Cleveland. Beachwood offers lots of beautiful parks, community centers and tennis courts to its residents and visitors to unwind, relax and rejuvenate.

Every year the City of Beachwood hosts a free event called “HonkinHaulin Hands-on Trucks”, that allow kids to get personal and close with the city's fire trucks, ambulance, dump trucks and more. They also get a free "key" and "driver's license."

Last year the city’s sprawling, 200,000 square-foot service center handled an awful lot of heavy equipment and hosted a whole lot of fun as several children enjoyed the personal experience of handling the trucks and heavy vehicles. They touched and sat in trucks, played games and met the real life firefighters. As an added benefit, the kids also had an opportunity to get their own driver’s license- only if they pledge to abide by all the traffic rules and wear a seat belt.

The event was organized under the leadership of Karen Carmen, the Community Services Director and founder of the HonkinHaulin Hands on Truck event. Karen along with the team started the preparation of the fun on Friday evening with several decorative cardboards “drive-in movie cars” in which kids sat, and walked around in circle until the music stopped, they then had to identify the type of truck pictured on the floor where they stand.

Though the event lasted for only 2 hours but the memories taken from it had a long lasting effect.

This year, the 16th Annual HaulinHonkin Hands on Truck event was hosted at the Service Facility, 23355 Mercantile Road, Beachwood, Ohio, on 20th September, 2015, Sunday.

The event witnessed more than 1,000 people from Beachwood as well as the surrounding communities. The young guests had an opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat of plow trucks, fire trucks, ambulances and other heavy vehicles and other emergency vehicles. Parents were seen clicking pictures of their children as young drivers in the big Tonka toys. The HonkinHaulin Hands on Truck event is a free community event which showcases the service and safety service vehicles and their importance. For kids it offers a whole lot of new experience of stepping on those giant trucks, driving safety town vehicles, and getting their very own first official driver’s licenses.

The event was also witnessed by the residents and visitors from places like Richmond Heights, South Euclid, Mayfield Heights, Bedford and Shaker Heights, turning the whole event into a multi-community event.

We promise a hassle free service of our professionals and independent team of drivers who will take you anywhere in Beachwood or other neighboring places.
