Join us for thrilling fun as we celebrate all the people who serve and protect including the firefighters at Latham Fire and the Town of Colonie Police. We’ll also be helping our neighbors at the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York by stuffing the fire truck with food donations that you can bring in!
Activities include:
- Touch a Truck: Get up close and personal! Climb in, sound the sirens and learn about the life-saving impressive equipment used by our firefighters, police and DEC.
- Meet the Heroes: Talk to these first responders and take a photo to learn what it takes to protect the community.
- Safety Education: Learn how you can keep your family protected. These first responders know all the tips to stay safe!
- Stuff a truck! Bring non-perishable food for the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. There’s a reason for the season, and you can help your neighbors stay healthy by giving.
- Indoor Rock Climbing: Challenge yourself on our state-of-the-art indoor rock wall. Whether you're a seasoned climber or a beginner, there are routes for everyone to enjoy, PLUS a portion of the proceeds from the Rock Wall Climbing this day will go to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
