2011 Salisbury Safe Kids Day

The 2011 Salisbury Safe Kids Day was held Saturday at the Mid-Shore YMCA on Schumaker Drive in Salisbury.  It was estimated that over 300 children (about 500 total) attended the event.

The event, sponsored by the Salisbury Jaycees and the Mid-Shore YMCA, featured groups from around Delmarva with an emphasis on providing a safe environment for our children.

PRMC’s trauma unit brought out the “Trauma-roo”, a huge favorite with the younger kids.  Wicomico State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello was present as well.  His office arranged to also have representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, as well as the US Secret Service present.  Parents were provided information about the sex offender registry, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Ident-a-Kid.

Other groups present included the Wicomico County Sheriff’s office, the Maryland State Police, the Salisbury Kennel Club, and Home Depot.
