During this event, children and parents will discuss safety with Caldwell County Safe Kids and first responders (including law enforcement, fire fighters, etc).  Parents will learn health topics from a variety of agencies, including Caldwell County Health Department (Dental, Child Health, Maternity, WIC, etc).  Also joining the event will be Project Lazarus, the Robins Nest, the Forestry Service, and many other agencies.  All those involved will have educational material and games for kids of all ages.

This event is geared for parents and children, birth to 5 years old. The event is free for everyone!
