Youth Firearm Safety Class

FREE

“Come on down and join us folks: Now is the time to have your children attend our FREE gun safety class this Saturday. This is horrible trend that continues to happen and we can prevent this. Our precious children are being shot by “playing” with guns or just having a tragic accident happen to them. Would your kids know what to do when they come in contact with a gun? Or maybe they just need to hear the rules of gun safety from someone other than their parents? We all know that they tend to listen more when someone else talks to them about things.”

Pre-registration required.
This is a FREE class offered by Overwatch Defense to teach children the basics of firearm safety and what to do when they encounter a firearm in the home or anywhere else they may be at.

6-15 years is the basic age the class is geared for but younger or older children are welcome. When we split up in small groups we do so by age so we talk to different groups at their levels. We have had 4 year olds and 17 year olds and had positive results.

Anything That Floats Parade

The Anything That Floats Parade is where people from all walks of life come and express their creativity on the river. Teams work together to create all sorts of river vessels; some simple, some elaborate, some made from recycled materials, and others made with lots of flair. The sky is the limit, as long as it floats. The whole parade is hosted during the annual RiverFest Music Festival at New Belgium where people can watch the floats go by from the liquid center deck.

Teams that are interested in building a float and joining the parade can visit riverlink.org/afp to register.

Teams will start their journey from Hominy Creek River Park and float down to the dock at the Craven St Bridge. People will be able to view the parade from many of the beautiful greenways and parks along Amboy Rd. and Riverside Dr. as well as the Liquid Center deck at New Belgium. Float teams and parade viewers are encouraged to stick around at New Belgium for RiverLink’s Annual RiverFest concert which goes from 1-8PM.

Slow Art Day

Free
Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. When people look slowly at an artwork, they make discoveries. One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at one or a few artworks and talk about their experience. That’s it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
