North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Councilwoman Anna Kaplan, and the North Hempstead Town Board are proud to present the seventh annual “Kids Safety Day” which will be held on September 17th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Manhasset’s Mary Jane Davies Park.

This exciting and informative event focuses on educating kids about fire, beach, pool, bike and internet safety and much more.

“This event is such a wonderful opportunity to learn about safety, while having a good time,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “We are so lucky here in North Hempstead to have the ability to collaborate with law enforcement, the local government, and the community in order to provide our children and parents with the knowledge to keep them safe.”

Children participating in the event will move through safety stations and public safety zones provided by the Nassau Police Department. The Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department be present with a fire truck and smokehouse, which the children may walk through and explore.

Kids Safety Day also features fun giveaways, arts and crafts, and face painting.

Councilwoman Kaplan, who is co-hosting the event, said, “Nothing is more important than our children’s safety. This event goes a long way to ensuring our children are educated on ways to remain safe in public and in their own homes.”
