As temperatures are expected to reach the 90s this weekend, it’s important to remember temperatures can become deadly inside a car in a very short period of time. Safe Kids Adams County reminds caregivers to never leave children alone in cars.

Safe Kids Adams County and the Kohl’s Cares Campaign are hosting a car seat round-up to dispose of old and or expired car seats. This event will take place this Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Kohl’s parking lot at 6100 Broadway.

This is National Poison Prevention Week! National Poison Prevention Week was established by the U.S. Congress in 1961 to focus national attention on the dangers of poisonings and how to prevent them. Every year more than 2 million poisonings are reported to the Nation’s poison centers.

The Adams County Health Department, working in collaboration with the United Way of Adams County and the 5-2-1-0 Get Up and Move Initiative, will be holding Friday Night Family Play Nights to challenge Adams County children and their families to be active and promote healthy eating habits.
