Summer in Alaska is short, bright, and packed with the kind of long days that get families outside and on the move. We want to help you make the most of the season while keeping your loved ones safe, which is exactly why we’re excited to invite you to our very first Summer Safety Fair.

Save the Date

Mark your calendars and bring the whole family:

• When: Thursday, July 9, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM
• Where: Richardson Community Center, 338 Hoonah Ave (Richardson side of JBER)

The fair is free to attend, and there’s no registration required.

What to Expect

We’ve brought together some of the best local first responders and community organizations for an afternoon focused on practical, family-friendly safety education. You’ll have the chance to meet the teams behind the badges, check out their displays, ask questions, and pick up free safety information you can put to use right away.

Meet Our Community Participants

We’re grateful to be joined by an incredible lineup of local organizations who share our commitment to keeping families safe. Participating groups include:

• JBER Fire & Emergency Services
• 673d Security Forces Squadron
• American Red Cross of Alaska
• Armed Services YMCA
• Alaska Waste
• JBER Wildlife

Bring the Whole Family

Here’s a great reason to stop by: every family that attends will have the chance to enter to win a free car safety kit. It’s a handy addition to any vehicle and one more way to keep your family prepared wherever the summer takes you.
