LAKEPORT >> The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will distribute free-of-charge bicycle safety helmets at the Heroes of Health & Safety Fair on Saturday at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
The CHP”s Senior Volunteers will facilitate a youth bicycle rodeo as well as a bicycle equipment safety inspection.
The CHP Explorers will have a booth and will be able to answer any questions for young people from 15 to 21 years old who are interested in a future in law enforcement. Additionally, the CHP will assist in the car seat safety inspections. Unsafe seats will be replaced free-of-charge as long as the supply of new seats lasts. Officers will also have a motorcycle safety booth staffed by a CHP motorcycle officer out of the Santa Rosa Area.
Helmets are provided through a donation by the Sunrise Rotary Club of Kelseyville.
“This event will be amazing,” Sgt. Mike Humble said. “In all my years in law enforcement, never have I seen so many organizations come together at one time to improve the overall health and safety in the community which they serve. To top it all off, it”s free. There won”t be any to charge to park or get into the event. The only thing that will cost you anything is for the food if you get hungry. We are very excited about participating in the first Heroes of Health & Safety Fair, and hope that everyone from our community can attend.”
The Heroes of Health & Safety Fair will take place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and admission is free-of-charge.
The fairgrounds are located at 401 Martin St. in Lakeport.
