A collaborative effort among local authorities aims to bring safety awareness and family enjoyment to Barstow this weekend. The public is encouraged to attend a safety fair organized by the Barstow Police Department, the Barstow Fire Protection District, and the California Highway Patrol's Barstow office. Scheduled for Saturday morning through early afternoon, the event will take place along Mountain View Street, creating an interactive experience for residents of all ages.
In addition to showcasing emergency response demonstrations, the gathering will feature educational booths and activities designed for families. A highlight of the event includes a bicycle rodeo for children, where they can learn essential safety tips, receive proper headgear, and even showcase their cycling abilities on a specially designed course. Participants may also have the opportunity to win a new bike, adding excitement to the day’s proceedings.
The initiative underscores the importance of community engagement in promoting safety and well-being. By fostering connections between residents and public service personnel, such events not only educate but also strengthen the bonds that make neighborhoods safer and more cohesive. This gathering exemplifies how collective efforts can inspire positive change while ensuring a fun-filled day for everyone involved.
