CORNING, N.Y. (WENY) -- The Trucks! Trucks! Trucks! Fundraiser was in full swing on Saturday at Corning Community College.  

Roughly 30 trucks were on site starting Saturday morning, along with an array of vendors and other entertainment. Food trucks were serving lunch to families, while a variety of service trucks also served as exhibits. The event is benefiting the Erwin Child & Family Center in Painted Post.  

“Everybody in the community comes out to support the event just to be there for the kids and to give them exposure to all of the different sides of service in the community,” Stephanie Miller, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Communications at Pathways, Inc., said. “It's a great opportunity.”  

The fundraiser aims to provide family fun and give an inside look at different services in the community. Parents and kids could hop in the vehicles and speak with the drivers about what they do. K9 Deputy Micah Swarthout was educating kids with his police car alongside his K-9 companion, Mac. He hopes kids take away what goes into working in law enforcement and other career fields at the fundraising event.  

“It's extremely important,” Swarthout said. “We want them to understand that we are their friends; we are here to help them. Allowing them to get into the car and see is great.”  

Josh Watson, with Chemung Concrete & Form Rental, was also sharing his work with kids Saturday afternoon. He demonstrated to kids the process of making concrete.  

“They all are interested in what it takes to make it and learn how the process is done,” Watson said. “Their house is built on concrete, so they can understand what it takes to build their house.”
