Link in comments- On this podcast episode of Southeast Iowa Today I bring you podcast excellence from Rock Falls, Illinois, at the Touch A Truck of Rock Falls ! I visit with Chairman/Organizer of Touch A Truck of Rock Falls John Watts. John Watts shares how this event is the largest Touch A Truck in the nation in regard to number of vehicles at a Touch A Truck event counting in at 170+! Also on the program, I catch up with several owners of the Star Cars! It all happened May 30, 2026.

🚛💙 FOR THE COMMUNITY, BY THE COMMUNITY 💙🚛
​As we look back on another incredible Touch A Truck Rock Falls, we want to take a moment to shine a light on the people behind the scenes. While our amazing sponsors keep our engines running, there is a dedicated crew who pour their hearts, souls, and endless hours into making this magic happen.

​In an event like this, titles don't matter. Some of us wear different hats at different times, but at the end of the day, a title is just a word on paper—the real work gets done by the people involved. Touch A Truck relies entirely on human connection and hard work. No single person or organization is bigger than the event itself. It is a collective, beautiful effort at every single level.

​From the team working around the clock year-round, to our "day-of" heroes who step up exactly when we need them most, we want to publicly recognize and thank this phenomenal crew:
​✨ John Watts
✨ Derrick Peltier
✨ Emma Hand
✨ Paizlee Peltier
✨ Brick Boss
✨ Joey Watts
✨ Dave St Pier
✨ Cheryl Ann
✨ Tonya Smith
✨ Sarah Peltier
✨ Lindsey St. Pier
✨ Rosie Watts
✨ Dee Hunsberger
✨ Erin Bickford
✨ Hank Sobotka
✨ Scott Boss
✨ Keagan Hicks
✨ Chaz Slater
✨ Paul Montee
​To our crew: thank you for rolling up your sleeves, setting aside titles, and doing the heavy lifting to bring joy to Rock Falls.

​And to everyone who showed up on a Saturday to bring out your big trucks, show off your heavy equipment, and share your passion with the kids and families—thank you.
​This event has always been, and always will be, for the community, by the community. We quite literally could not do this without every single one of you.
