There will be several opportunities for kids to watch and learn including karate and boating safety demonstrations. In addition, the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Coast Guard will be on hand to offer information about boating safety and how to be sure your life vest is the right fit for water activities. You can bring your own life vest and they will help fit it for you.

Local food vendors will be on site providing an opportunity to purchase food and sweet treats and Anna Jaques Hospital will have a booth with free snacks and tote bags, while supplies last!
