WQXE News 0 Comments

Area pet owners and community members are invited to come out to the 12th annual PAWS United Pet Expo, to be held this Saturday at 2855 Centennial Avenue in Radcliff.

“The official time is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.,” said event organizer Charles Hinckley. “There’s going to be some great stuff that’s taking place. We’ve got a lot of vendors that are coming in. We have a shot clinic. The animal shelter is coming. Mike (McNutt) and those guys are going to be bringing it and they’re going to have a reduced cost for some of the shots.”

In addition to the clinic and vendors, the Mid-Kentucky Kennel Club will be performing demonstrations, and you can enter your pet in the spring fashion show.

“The great thing is, what is the cost?” Hinckley said. “It’s real simple: bring a donation. Bring us some dog food, bring some cat food. Make a monetary donation, that’s fine too. There’s not a set price. Just come in, make a donation, walk through, and see all the things that are going to be happening.”

The expo is also an opportunity for multiple rescue organizations to share about their operations and connect with people looking to bring home a new furry friend.

“PAWS United Pet Expo is going to be the Facebook page you can go to, and also you can call 270-801-5224,” Hinckley said.

Pets are welcome to attend but must be on a leash.

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.
