MILTON, GA., Aug. 10, 2010 - Members of the Milton Police Department will be on hand at the City of Alpharetta's 12th annual Touch-A-Truck event Saturday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at North Park, 13450 Cogburn Road.

Community Outreach Officer Andrew Phillips said Milton's finest will be on hand as part of an interactive public safety display.

"We partner with Alpharetta for public safety response, and North Park is literally surrounded by Milton, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to include our city in the event," he said. "We hope to see you all out there."

Touch-A-Truck showcases all types of vehicles, including fire engines, race cars, trucks, heavy-duty construction equipment, military vehicles, motorcycles, emergency vehicles, buses, entertainment and much more. According to the City of Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department, the free event attracts more than 5,000 people a year and also includes inflatables, face painting and animal balloons.

While there, visitors can register to win a new 2010 Harley-Davidson® motorcycle from Killer Creek Harley-Davidson. It is free to enter the contest, said Alpharetta representatives.
