LAKEPORT, Calif. – At the Heroes of Health and Safety Fair on Saturday October 15, Flotilla 88 of Lake County will be providing youngsters up to 12 years old free life jackets.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and will be weighed and properly fitted by members of the flotilla.

The parent and youngster will be instructed on how to wear the life jacket properly.

A grant from Walmart has made this free life jacket giveaway possible. 

At the booth, there will be information on water safety, safe boating practice and other useful information to help keep everyone safe on the water.
