Fire Prevention Festival

“Don’t Wait-Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years” is the theme for the 2016 Fire Prevention Festival. Being held, for the first time, at the county fairgrounds, at Masterson Station Park we’ve added several new attractions in an effort to make this the biggest and best festival to date! Come out and enjoy free Fire Truck Rides, Pony Rides, a Petting Zoo, Kasey the Fire Dog Show, Kids Combat Challenge, Bike Rodeo, and Fire Safety Skills. Zip on over to Home Depot’s booth where they will be helping kids “build-a-truck” while Cabela’s will be bringing our first ever Gun Safety Range. We’re excited to welcome the Lexington Police Department and their canine unit, mounted patrol, bomb unit, and helicopter. Need to get your eyes checked? This year we’re adding a health and wellness component to the festival and we’ll be giving away free on-site vision and hearing screenings, blood pressure checks, balance checks, teaching hands-only CPR, and much more. Also new to this year’s festival is our Touch-A-Truck event. We will have cars and trucks, big and small, for you to see up close and personal. Add to that free hamburgers, hotdogs, cotton candy, chips, and popcorn and it might just be the best way to spend your Sunday afternoon.
