Lake Stevens Fire and Lake Stevens Police are excited to bring the annual Health & Safety Fair to the Lake Stevens community on Saturday, June 9 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Albertson’s parking lot in Lake Stevens.  Thanks to the partnership between these two safety agencies this event continues to grow each year and offer additional information to our community.

This year there will be a special “Bully Prevention Presentation” from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. by Master Shin.  His presentation will include information on how not to be bullied, encouragement not to bully, and basic self defense moves.  Diana Ruiz will return this year and share her music from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. She has an amazing voice and her style is upbeat and family friendly.

In addition to the health and safety information provided, there will be various activities for guests to participate in.  Activities will include a bounce house, balloons, face painting, fingerprint cards, a fishing pond and so much more.

Lake Stevens Fire will have their Fire Safety House open and have the engine and aid car available for tours, emergency calls permitting.  Lake Stevens Police will bring child ID cards and they will also have their Med Box on site so that guests can turn in any expired and unused medications.  (Insulin and needles will not be accepted.)

Fire Chief Lingenfelter commented, “We appreciate the support of the various agencies involved and applaud their commitment to the Lake Stevens community.  There will be some great information the community can benefit from at no cost, and I encourage everyone to stop by.”
