Fourth of July Family Time

Keep your family save during Fourth of July festivities this year by following these tips:

-Have a designated chaperone in the water at all times with children.

-Keep fireworks in an area where children don’t have access. If setting up your own home display, be sure to read and follow all state and local fireworks regulations. It is safest to attend a professional display.

-Wear sunscreen. Choose SPF 30 or higher and be sure to re-apply at least every 2 hours – apply more often if you are swimming or sweating.

-Cover food to prevent pests like bees and only let perishable dishes stay out for 1-2 hours. If temperatures are 90 or above, re-refrigerate items after 60 minutes.
