Campground to host Kids Safety Day

Hidden Creek Campground will host their Safe Kids fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, according to a news release from state trooper Lauren Lesher.

The event is free and open to the public.

Children attending the event will have the opportunity to ‘Touch a Truck,’ during which they can explore real emergency vehicles, including fire trucks, and get the chance to speak with first responders, the release said.

Local K-9 units will be on-hand, as will Baltimore Life, who will be fingerprinting children as part of their child safety kits, and free bike helmets will also be available.

The state police helicopter will also make an appearance, according to the release.

A silent auction and food deck will also be available, with all proceeds benefiting Transitions of PA, an organization dedicated to ending human trafficking.

“For the last six years Hidden Creek Campground has done fundraisers, and the owners match the donation and donate it to Transitions of PA to combat human trafficking,” the release said.

“Last year the owner, Adam Diggan, passed away after an 11-year battle with cancer. It was his dream to fight human trafficking that they hope to keep alive through their events each year,” it said.

Organizers continue to accept auction basket donations to help increase revenue for the fundraiser.
