Illinois Tollway and Illinois State Police Host Kids Safety Event

In an effort to keep kids safe and parents worry-free this summer, the Illinois Tollway and Illinois State Police District 15 have scheduled a free Kids’ Identification and Safety Seat (K.I.S.S.) event at the Discovery Center Museum in Rockford.  Parents, grandparents and caregivers are invited to stop by to create kids’ identification cards and get help with child safety seat inspections.

The K.I.S.S. event will be held on Saturday, August 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Discovery Center Museum, 711 N. Main Street, Rockford, IL. Safety seat inspections will take place in the museum’s parking lot while kids’ I.D. cards will be processed inside.  Kids can also climb aboard a Highway Emergency Lane Patrol (H.E.L.P.) truck and get behind the wheel of a 26-ton Illinois Tollway snowplow at the Tollway’s touch-a-truck exhibit.  Participants in the K.I.S.S. event will be offered half-price same-day admission
