Firefighters with the Radcliff Fire Department and officers with the Radcliff Police Department want to make sure that when you are traveling in the car you are securing special cargo properly.

The RFD and RPD are hosting a free car seat safety check and install event Thursday at Navy Federal Credit Union, located at 1671 North Wilson Road.

“Everybody’s welcome to come by,” said Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane. “It’s an opportunity to just stop in. You don’t have to make an appointment. We’re going to have it from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s supposed to be nice weather, so stop by. We can double check your seat just to make sure. If your child’s with you, we can check the harness placement, make sure everything’s good there. Check the seat. We always want to make sure that people understand how the seat fits in the vehicle and then make sure that everybody has their child in correctly.”

Crane says these basic reminders and checks can make all the difference in the event of a crash.

“We also remind people of the different ages when they should have the child rear-facing and when they can turn around forward-facing, and remind them that if they’re 12 and under to keep them in the back seat as long as possible,” Crane said. “That’s the safest place for them.”

All are welcome to attend this free event.

If you are looking for more outdoor activities to do with the kids this spring, the City of Elizabethtown has an event you won’t want to run “afowl” of.

The Silly Goose on the Loose Scavenger Hunt has returned to Freeman Lake Park, and will run there now through May 3.

According to the E-Town Events team, the family-friendly scavenger hunt is free and open to all ages. Pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the Freeman Lake Park office or download it from www.etownevents.com.

Participants will follow the clues to locate and identify the ten silly geese hidden throughout the park. Once you have found all ten geese, return your completed sheet to the park office. All participants who complete the scavenger hunt will receive a goody bag and will be entered for a chance to win the Park Silly Goose Prize Basket, which will be drawn for on May 4.

E-Town Events says this is the first themed scavenger hunt of four planned for Freeman Lake Park. Check back later in the year for pirate, bug, and pumpkin-themed park adventures.
