Kids Day
o at the lake
Kids of all ages had a great time during “Kids Day,” hosted by the
Harveys Lake Fire and Ambulance on August 16 at Sandy Beach.
Fire Chief David Davis says the department started Kids Day
about seven years ago as part of Harveys Lake Homecoming from
2005 to 2008 but since the homecoming did not take place this year,
the fire and ambulance company hosted the children’s event.
Children were treated to hamburgers and hot dogs, fire trucks,
mazes and games. There were water wars and a slip and slide.
Six-year-old Jack Susanin, whose grandparents have a house at
Harveys Lake, takes advantage of a water slide set up by the
Harveys Lake Fire and Ambulance Co. for a "Kids Day" at the
Sandy Beach Lake Club.
