Dozens of families gathered Saturday at the Midtown Greenway with the goal of entering the school year safely at the first annual Kids Safe Day. The event, held by Safe Kids and the Gainesville Police Department, gave children free fitted bike helmets, water bottles, backpacks, Kona Ice and information on home safety. According to Kids Safe Coalition Coordinator Kim Martin, “our goal was to educate families on the dangers and risks in and out of the home, in the funnest way possible.”
