  Speaker 2: Sir, how are you good morning? I'm good? How about yourself?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Fantastic? This is the one of my favorite times a year.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: All these events are starting to pop and literally blossom
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: out on our streets the way that the flowers are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lining them up, and this is just so cool. You
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and I were talking about this before joining on. This
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is really touch a Truck has really really grown and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we were talking about it. But you know, tell listeners,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: how long have you been a part of it, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: then we'll kind of get into how this is just
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: really blossomed for sure.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and again I appreciate you guys having us
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on and give us opportunity to talk about it and
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: what you guys have done to support us as well.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Touch Truck. This is our third year in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the current format that we've done. We used to do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it several years back, had great support from the Optimus
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Club of Rock Falls, did it for many years, kind
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of took it from where we had the very first
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: one was held at sell Me's there in Rock Falls
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and it had about six vehicles. Did that for a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: couple of years, moved it uptown there across from Holiday Inn.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Did that for several more years there and kind of
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: up until the COVID stuff kind of happened and things
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: like that just kind of unfortunately went away. We decided
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to bring it back. Me and a few volunteers, without
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: any type of club participation, et cetera, kind of formed
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a group and this is done primarily with about three
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: or four volunteers organizing it of us, and then of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: course the day of we bring in a few more
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: people and stuff because it's hard to park a one
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five vehicles in a two hour span
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in an area without a lot of help. So yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we do bring in a lot of help for that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this is our third year in the current format.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's grown significantly since when we started out way back
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: when in the early twenty teens.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, absolutely, I mean touch of truck with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Rock Fall says, I mean you said what I mean.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: This was before we got on air, but it's like
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: up to one hundred and eighty attractions now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we last year we ended up we had
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: over two hundred scheduled. Last year through scheduling conflicts, emergencies,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: this that that came up, we parked probably right around
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty vehicles, attractions, et cetera. This year
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we're right on that same land. I think my last
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: count we were right around one seventy and I was
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: just adding things as of yesterday. By comparison, if you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were to look up touch truck largest touch a truck events,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you're gonna come up with forty to seventy somewhere in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that comparison. Across the country, I think there is one
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that boasts just over one hundred. Nobody touches one hundred
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and fifty plus, and they will have more attendees in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a higher populated area than we will. But I'll tell
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you we are deemed the largest touch truck event in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the country right here in Little Rock Falls, Illinois. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: we're pretty proud of that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, that is a fantastic thing to be able
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to boast for you know, for the for the area
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and the fact that you have these other ones out there.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But you guys have gotten so many and as you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and I were saying off there is that when this
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: first started, and if you had never been to one
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of these, you would primarily think like, Okay, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this is probably more like an event that I bring
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: my kids to, which you absolutely do because they love it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But sure, absolutely with this men, with this many vehicles
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and attractions, especially some of the these cool movie ones,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you kind of roll roll those out.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: This is for everyone.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, It's the biggest kid out there is myself.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And you can't you can't be a large part of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the organization in here without without having looking through it
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: from a kid's lens, lens lens eyes, you know, from
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that perspective. So, yeah, we've got seven movie cars, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: coming out. We have the General le we have Ecto
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: from Ghostbusters. We have we had Smoking in the Bandit,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but unfortunate stuff came up with the Bandit, but we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: still have Smoky. We've got the Snowman, We've got night Rider,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we have the car the truck from the original Twisters
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: movie replica tribute there and we've got the Blues Brothers
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: car there too. So normally we focus on having one
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: or two of them and the adults come out, bring
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the kids, and adults kind of want to see it,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: get a picture by it, maybe in it, that sort
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of thing. But uh yeah, I mean that that helps
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it there. But now it's like we got we got
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: seven of these and normally have one or two, so
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: even even that portion has grown. But to your point,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's something for everyone here. Whether it's gonna be air land, water,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. We've got vehicles that go on all of it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So now you know it's already one one just feather
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you know, in the cap to get to say that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you're the largest Touch a Truck event in the country.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But how much bigger? You know, perfect world thing lines
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up because all of this again just being done by volunteers,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: which is an amazing feat in itself. Yeah, how much
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: bigger do you think we could get this thing if
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: if the conditions align well?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: This year will be a good test of that. This
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: year we've relocated from our previous location that we've we
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: did it for years and years at, which was again
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: across the the RBI and W riverfront there in rock
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Falls kind of outgrew that location there last year we
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: noticed that seen the need for for a new location.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: The City of rock Falls has been absolutely wonderful with
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: accommodating us. We're taking over essentially the whole downtown area.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I started advertising this and putting you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: downtown rock Falls, downtown our Falls. Even on Facebook, people say, oh,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: where is it? It's downtown rock Falls. Literally, it's hard
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to give you an address. We are. We are four
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: blocks of West second Street. Uh there, We're four blocks
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of West first Street. We have the lower Dam. We
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: have two municipal parking lots uh there as well, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: uh and a lot of support from the downtown businesses
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: there too. But a lot of support from the city
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: has worked to uh get a few things finished up.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: There was a some repaving stuff done on some roads
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and stuff there. And you know, we're nervous about some
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of our timeline and and trying to create a backup plan.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But the city was wonderful and how that's all going
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to transition into the size that we have this year.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: We're hoping to fill this this up too, uh and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: be looking for some more space next year. So how
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: big can it get? I don't know. I'm looking forward
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to parking two hundred vehicles, you know, next year. That
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: was my goal. This year, a few things kind of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: got in our way. But we're close.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We're close Rock Falls Airport. I wonder if you could
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: give us a day out of the year for this
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Rock Falls Airport will if we choose to do that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We have spoken with them again just looking at all
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the different stuff, and again the guys out there at
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the Whiteside County Airport are absolutely fantastic personally, kind of
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: selfishly whatever. I like the downtown Ish area, and not
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: only for Rock Falls that's downtown district, but I also
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: like it because our proximity to Sterling. We have a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: lot of Sterling businesses. We have the city of Sterling involved,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: We have their police, their fire, their public works involved,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: as well as the Rock Falls stuff. And it just
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: makes it easier for them to come just across the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: bridge and be right there, because unfortunately, when you're dealing
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: with emergency vehicles, non call stuff, it's not uncommon that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: some of them have to leave. Sure, they're not always
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: just dedicated to this event. You know, something always seems
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to come up that pulls somebody during the event, whether
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that's the OSF lifelike helicopter, whether that's a Sterling fire
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: or whatever the case may be. So having that proximity,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I feel gives us a better result, a better turnout,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and a better cooperation for both cities. We are touch
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a truck of rock falls, but we're touch of truck
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Sock Valley. We have people coming from all over the area.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: We have people coming out of the suburbs of Chicago.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: We got them coming from Clinton, you know, Wisconsin, so
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it uh Missouri. You know, it's it's all over, So.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: You know what, that's a that's a great point. Not
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: only do you actually get more of a block party
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: feel the way that you have it in downtown, but
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: maybe one day we can have this thing stretching across
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the bridge into Sterling and literally, like you said, touch
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a truck sock Valley. Wow.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how the state of Illinois would
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: feel about a shutting down the bridge fort Wow, wouldn't that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Be something we won't park the cars?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know there's another idea.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We do have two bridges Illinois.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely there's possibility on that, but yeah, it's we're really
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: excited about this year. And again just the size of
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the size of the vehicles. I mean we can get
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: into some of that talk to there too if you like.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, how big do somebody? Yeah how big? How
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: are how big are some of the biggest ones? You know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I got all excited about the film. That's a good point.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we we again we have big is kind of
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the whole idea where we're deemed a is the big
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: one to not be confused with other events and stuff
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: like that too. But uh yeah, I mean we've got
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: everything from the smalls up to the bigs, whether it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: super large cranes, you know, super large, extra large tow trucks.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: We kind of go on that big scheme. The smaller
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: stuff is great too because some of the kids are
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: smaller and like that smaller stuff. But we've got monster
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: trucks coming this year. And I said trucks with an S.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: There's multiple monster trucks this year, which is something we've
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: never don before. We've had one, but we've never had multiples.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: So we do have a couple of them coming this year,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: which through the wonderful sport again of sponsors has allowed
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: us to do that. Top notch garage doors out of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Stirling there and United Metal Buildings of Rock Falls has
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: really helped us with bringing those vehicles together. United Metal
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Buildings can't say enough about them and what they've even
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: constructed us some things to hold some banners up and
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: some backdrops and things like that. So they've been wonderful
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: on stepping in and just anything that they can do
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to support, and all of our sponsors have stepped in.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I sometimes I wish I shouldn't mention one because then
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I can't mention them all because we have a lot
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of fantastic sponsors who will all be represented there as well.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But to the monster truck thing, we have two monster
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: trucks there, one of which was actually built in the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: big Foot shop originally when it was fabricated. So Bigfoot's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the best known monster truck you know around. In addition
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to that, you have Bigfoot's first driver, first driver, first
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: guy to actually start racing and jumping cars, by the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: name of Jim Kramer. Jim Kramer's out of the Saint
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Louis area. They're been speaking with him and his wife
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: for some time. He's a Hall of Famer monster truck
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: driver set the original record for longest jump in a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: monster truck, which unfor you know, technology and stuff. It's
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it's been Wilster passed, but he was the originator of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it and stuff him and Bob Chandler where the two
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: number one guys and Jim will be there on site
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: with his wife doing some autographs and just talking about
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: his experience of over fifty years in the monster truck industry.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So again, that is pretty cool that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is absolutely cool to have that history there
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: right along. I mean, having the vehicles themselves are already
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: cool enough, but to be able to get somebody that's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: been a part of that, I absolutely love it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where again touch the Truck has falled
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit. We're still got the number one focus
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: on vehicles, bill are. Number one thing is being a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: vehicle themed display, a vehicle themed event with the premise
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: of Look, Touch, Learn, Inspire. And you'll see that on
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: so much of our stuff that the giveaways that we're doing,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the stickers, the advertising, et cetera. Look, Touch, Learn, Inspire,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and that's what's all about to the kids. That again
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: we're gearing it toward there. We have thousands of giveaways
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: for these kids that are going to be coming out there,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and a few for the adults. But you know, again,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: we want them to look at that stuff. We wanted
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to get close to it. They see the fire engine
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: roaring down the street, very seldom they get a chance
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to get up close, touch it, sit in it, put
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the headphones on, learn about it. The big crane, you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you never see that. Those are always restricted areas right, Yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: We've given an opportunity and these businesses, these organizations, these
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: companies are donating themselves in their time to participate in it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: We are an event for the community by the community.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody comes to see me. I always say that we
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: couldn't do without our volunteers. We certainly couldn't do it
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: what we do without our sponsors, but most and foremost,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: we couldn't do it without the people who come out
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and bring the vehicles. So we were looking forward to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the Sock Valley turning out huge. We're expecting over two
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: thousand people. We've extended the event by an hour this year.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: We have a quiet time this year from nine to ten,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: same as last year. We initiated that for kids with
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: censorary issues or adults with sensory things. It gets pretty
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: loud at touch truck, a lot of sirens, a lot
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of horns, air horns going off, that sort of thing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And the recommendation was brought to me after year one
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: there is a can we can we tone it down
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: for an hour maybe, And we did last year and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: it was to a great, great response.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So that's that's fantastic that you folks have that consideration
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in there. That is absolutely great for those kids and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: adults that deal with that. So I appreciate you. We're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: about out of time, but this is this is happening
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: pretty quick.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Is this?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: This is next weekend right next Saturday?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: This is yep, one week from tomorrow. It is next Saturday,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: May thirtieth, Downtown Rock Falls nine am to three pm.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Usually we kind of wrap things up around two last year, know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: still a lot of people hanging around. We're going to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: extend out to three o'clock this year. See what that
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: does again. Size wise, it's a lot of space to cover,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and a lot of vehicles to cover and stuff there
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: so and a lot of stuff to cover talking on
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the radio, So appreciate you. Let me kind of ramble
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: on and kind of you know, go go one hundred
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: different directions. But if you didn't get anything, I said,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: get the date and get the you know, get out
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: there and you'll see what it's about once you see it.
• 14:33

• 14:36
  Speaker 2: mentioned it's free. By the way, Yes, that's a very
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: good free family event. There is food vendors on site

  Speaker 1: Yeah, parents, I can't tell you enough that you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: not only are your kids going to enjoy this year
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: going to enjoy it. It's not one of those ones
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: where you know, I see some of them and I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: get it, and I had been there when I was younger.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: You go to the park and you were field, so
• 15:05
