A Solvang church's parking lots were transformed into a showcase of construction, safety, farming and specialty trucks Saturday.

The annual Touch a Truck event raises funds for Bethania Preschool & After School Care.

Organizers said 21 different agencies brought their trucks and other vehicles for kids of all ages to get inside, and check them out.

There was also a designated "No Horn Hour" for attendees with sensitive ears to enjoy the event in a more quiet and relaxing manner.

Representatives from the Bethania Lutheran Church said roughly a thousand people came to Saturday's event.
