Kids Health and Safety Fair set for June 1

Safety education can be beneficial to families – and it can also be fun. Those things come together on June 1 at CoxHealth’s annual Kids Health and Safety Fair. The free event offers a one-stop opportunity to learn about need-to-know safety topics in ways that are both engaging and educational.

A few of the features include:

· Helicopter, ambulance, and firetruck tours

· Helmet giveaways (while supplies last)

· Bicycle safety stations

· Visits with Star Wars Storm Troopers and other characters

· Car seat checks

· Bounce houses

Prizes, including a bicycle and free swimming lessons, will be given away.

The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the parking lot of Cox North Hospital (1423 N. Jefferson Ave., Springfield).

Attendees seeking more information may call 417-269-0920.
