Small kids, big trucks

Posted: 07.22.2012 at 8:39 PM

HOUGHTON -- Children in Houghton got to play with some oversized toys on Saturday.

It's all part of the annual Big Truck Day. Trucks from the police and fire departments, UPPCO, Moyle Construction and Michigan Tech all lined up and gave the kids time in the driver seat. Worry not, they all stayed parked at the Copper Country Mall. And it cost only $5 per child.

The proceeds go toward supporting Dial Help, a suicide prevention hotline.
