“We are excited to have field games this year where you can play fun games with our Bainbridge Police Department (BIPD) Officers, community members, friends and/or family,” says City Manager Blair King. “Sign up at the Check-In & Prizes booth when you get there!”

Schedule of Field Games:

“We will also have a scavenger hunt activity where kids (and adults alike) can ask our BIPD and other first responders interesting and humorous questions for a chance to win prizes,” King notes. “You can pick up your scavenger hunt card at the Check-In & Prizes booth on Brien Dr.”

“Don’t miss our other activities like Touch-a-Truck, free face painting, the giant inflatable slide, community booths, Coast Guard booth, Washington State Patrol robot demos, and KidiMu activities. See you there!”
