This year’s Middletown
Kids Health & Safety Day is scheduled for Saturday, June 1st

The popular event will feature health

poison control, diabetes, and more. The Connecticut Free Masons will be providing
complete child-identification (including fingerprints, DNA, video, and

In addition, parents and kids can walk through the fire safety
trailer, climb aboard a fire truck, and sit in a police cruiser. There will be
dental, vision, and spinal screenings.

New this year, is the Channel 8 Mobile
Weather Lab. Middletown Kiwanis is sponsoring a bike safety rodeo in the Court
Street Upper Parking Arcade and will be giving away a limited number of bicycle
helmets (quantities are limited). Entertainment includes K-9, martial arts,
dance, bagpipes, and drum demonstrations.

And for fun, there will be face
painting, a clown, magician, moon bounces, spin and sand art, DJ, and sports
