There will be first responder equipment and vehicle displays, local business vendors, K-9 and SWAT demonstrations, a physical fitness competition for kids 17 and younger, and free food, drinks and raffles and prizes.

There will be a drunken driving simulator to help educate about the dangers of drinking and driving.
