Fun and games — and safety

Summer and kids go together naturally but, as the saying goes, "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt!"

To help kids "Play It Safe," Palmetto Electric will once again sponsor its annual Safety Days July 21 and 22.

Kids ages 6–11 can learn safety skills from local professionals during these free summer day camps. The program, now in its 21st year, includes water, fire, bike, internet and electrical safety. In addition, wildlife experts will teach outdoor/woods safety with the help of real, live, furry (or slimy) critters sponsored by The River 98.7 FM. To top it off, Linny the Lineman will be on hand to give away a boy's and a girl's bicycle at each event.

Lunch will be provided for each participant and there is no admission charge. Please make reservations by calling Virginia Gaffney at 1 (800) 922-5551.
