Mountain Lake firefighters welcome youngsters, their families
The 11th-annual Family Fair will be held on Wednesday, October 11, running from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Mountain Lake Fire Station. The event is for families with children up to 12 years of age. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Family Fun Fair is held each year in conjunction with National Fire Safety Prevention Week.
Families visiting the fire station can get an up-close look at fire-fighting equipment and explore the vehicles.
Several booths representing community and county agencies will also be there. At each booth, parents can learn about the services the agency provides, while the children have fun with an activity, game or craft.
In addition, each child attending the fun fair will receive a free book courtesy of the Mountain Lake Early Childhood Initiative (ECI), the titles focused on fire protection and prevention.
A free light supper will be served.
Sponsors for the event include the Mountain Lake Fire & Rescue and the Mountain Lake ECFE, in partnership with the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF).
