The Franklin County Family Focus Task Force will hold a kid’s safety fair during Summerfest on Saturday, August 15, from 12-2 pm. The location will be in the SW corner of Bandshell Park.

The fair will feature 6 learning centers for youth and their families to visit. They include: bike check and safety, tricycle safety, lawnmower safety, rollerblading and skateboarding safety, safe car seat use, and laws and ordinances regarding bicycles, roller blading and skateboarding.

Bicycle helmets will be fitted and given to participants. Youth who visit a majority of the learning centers and turn in their punch card will receive a pass to the Windsor Theater. There is a limited number of movie passes and helmets, and will be given until they are gone.

Parents can pick up helpful information on community resources for families, and the services agencies and organizations provide. Parents completing a short survey will be eligible for a drawing for 2 pizza parties at Godfathers.

The Franklin County Family Focus Task Force is a coalition of agencies and organizations that provide services and programs to youth and families in Franklin County.
