BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Kern County Sheriff’s Office Volunteer Services Section is working to help re-unite parents with lost children at the Kern County Fair with its Lost Parents, Found Kids program.
Volunteers will host Child Identification Wrist Band booths at every fair entrance, where parents will be able to pick up free wrist bands and write their child’s name and phone number. The child will then have necessary contact information on them should they become separated from his or her parents while at the fair.
The program will be joined by the Kern County Roads Department’s Duck Feet project. Duck feet shapes will be painted onto the ground throughout fairground pathways, allowing children who have lost their parents to follow the feet to safety.
KCSO says the Lost Parents, Found Kids program was a huge success when it debuted last year.
