2017 Cops and Kids: Safest street party in Carson City set for this Saturday
The safest street party in Carson City, the 2017 Cops and Kids Open House, is this Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the Carson City Sheriff's Office, 911 East Musser Street.
The annual free event, where the community and law enforcement, youth advocates and agencies come together for a day of fellowship, activities, music, food, games, ID kits for children and more, is entering its 14th season. Each year has grown in popularity, with hundreds if not at least a thousand or more children attending with their families.
"There's something for everyone, some things familiar and some new activities including a kids petting zoo sponsored by The Littlest Things and strawberry planting," said organizer and DARE Officer Lisa Davis. "We have a lot of new stuff this year, games, demonstrations. We will have something for every age."
And of course hot dogs. Each year Grocery Outlet has generously donated hot dogs, buns and cold drinks for all partygoers, cooked up by the Kiwanis Club.
Cops and Kids is the first pre-National Night Out event heading into summer and highlights what's ahead with the Aug. 1 event held annually at Mills Park.
On hand will be the sheriff's office K9 dogs, motorcycle patrol unit, stellar squad, members of the SWAT unit, representatives from DARE, and the Nevada Highway Patrol as well as community groups, such as Partnership Carson City and the Carson City Library, which will be on deck to introduce children and families to its summer reading program.
The Cops and Kids Street Party event is made possible through the sponsorship of Sheriff Ken Furlong, Grocery Outlet, the Kiwanis Club, American Family Insurance - Kadee Mason Agency, Jamba Juice, Sun Spot Tanning, Dan Kim Rock-it Productions, Northern Nevada Coin, Emblem Club, Monarch Direct, Downtown Carson City Business Association, Liz's Biz, Shelter Insurance - Max Macedo; ORH LLC, a construction company; RCM Realty.
