Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Have you ever wanted to dunk a sheriff’s deputy in water?

You could get that chance on Saturday at the Davie County Public Safety Day  from 3-8 p.m. in Downtown Mocksville.

Sponsored by the Davie Sherif’s Office, it will be a chance for county residents to meet deputies, EMS and fire personnel in a more relaxed setting. Non-profit agencies are setting up booths.

If you like, you can take a throw at getting an officer wet in the dunking booth. There will be a bounce house for the kids, games for all ages, give-aways, live music, speeches, and free food.

The annual event is sponsored by the sheriff, and started as part of the National Night Out program, to “promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places,” and chance to bring emergency personnel and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
