Silvis is celebrating its centennial this year, and to help celebrate the public library held an event for families on Saturday. The Touch a Truck event featured vehicles from Silvis Public Works, Silvis Police Department and other agencies.

Some kids also got a chance to have their pictures taken with a Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine.

Staff organizers were grateful the weather cleared and the field where the event was held wasn’t too muddy.
