The Somerset Police and Fire Departments will join forces this weekend to bring the community together in an informative, fun-filled, family-oriented event. The event is free and all are welcome to attend.

As part of the event, children and adults will have an opportunity to check out Somerset Police Department and Fire Department vehicles, as well as K-9, motorcycle and Massachusetts State Police Air Wing demonstrations.

An interactive smoke trailer, information booths and games, children’s activities, crafts, face painting, food, music and more will also be at the event for all to enjoy.
