A free public event for kids (and their families) hosted by Tillamook Early Learning Center on Saturday June 15th from 9:00am – 12:00noon, at the Port of Garibaldi.
This is a FREE community event aimed at providing information and resources to families of young children on beach and coastal recreation, as well as cold-water safety.
Between 9:00am-10:00am, we are holding life jackets that were sponsored by Greg’s Marine Service and Honda Boating, for the Preschool Promise and Head Start Families. Families will need to self identify. After 10:00am, we will offer life jackets to any other young children who want one, while supplies last. We purchased the smallest sizes for Preschool aged children, and they will be given a tutorial on proper fit by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The target audience are families with young children to learn about beach and cold water safety, outdoor recreation as well as many other vendors with hands on activities available to kids. Children enrolled in Tillamook County preschool programs will receive a free life jacket while supplies last, and the Coast Guard Auxillary is coming to ensure proper fit. Greg’s Marine Service and Honda boating are sponsoring life jackets, and will also be there to teach proper boat etiquette aboard one of their vessels. We will have many other vendors and tables including WEBS, OSU Marine Hatfield Science Center, OMSI, Garibaldi Fire & Rescue, boathouse activities, Food Roots and more!
Come down and enjoy the fun on Saturday June 15th from 9:00am-12:00noon at the Port of Garibaldi, under the big white tent.
