St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office DARE Fun Day - November 8, 2008

A special DARE fun day was held at the local Walmart store in Ft. Pierce, Florida. The Multi Agency Command Post bus was set up for child fingerprinting and a table under a canopy was set up with D.A.R.E. giveaway items. They fingerprinted about 60 kids and gave away a bunch of D.A.R.E. stuff with the main idea being to get the "D.A.R.E." name out to the public. Corporal Terry Allen from Lake County Sheriff's Office even drove his D.A.R.E. Truck all the way from Lake County to St. Lucie County for the event! It was a great D.A.R.E. Day!
