and Inland Fisheries and U.S. Marine Corps personnel from Quantico all participated in the day to help make it interesting and informative for parents as well as children.
The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office, which hosts the event along with RCES, had a display of weapons for all to view along with information about DARE.
Fire and rescue vehicles from Warren, Fauquier, Culpeper, Prince William and Loudoun counties along with others from Manassas, Falls Church, Fairfax and Front Royal and even some from the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Park Ranger Service were all there to be viewed and explored.
The Prince William County Police Department had a corvette made over into a DARE car on display. On the back under the trunk opening was printed “Courtesy of a drug dealer.” There was even a completely smashed (almost demolished) vehicle, which may have been a station wagon in a former life, on display as a reminder of what can happen if you drive under the influence of drugs.
Kids particularly took to “scoping out” the view from the top of the Virginia State Police riot wagon.
There was as much cotton candy and snow cones as anyone could ever want — even a kid and the crowd was kept entertained by the sounds of the Top Cops Band of Warren County.
There were games and activities of a more physical nature, such as the rope climb and the hurdle contest, up on the school’s playing field and the RCES cafeteria was doing bag lunches for all.
