Food truck fundraiser slated Thursday at Shelton Riverwalk


SHELTON - The Parent Child Resource Center is hosting its 2nd Annual “Food Trucks in the Valley” Thursday at the Shelton Riverwalk to benefit children’s behavioral health programs and services that it hosts in Derby and Shelton. 
PCRC serves children and their families throughout the state of Connecticut. 

This event features 25-plus food trucks, live music, kids activities, mascots and a car show (please bring your car by for free entry into the car show!).

This event includes favorite food trucks, like Caseus, Szabo’s Seafood, Dad’s Food Truck, Firedog, Ben & Jerry’s, and many more. New activities include a video game truck and a giant bounce slide.
