When The Christian Village and Logan County Paramedic Association decided to work together to hold a family day at the LCPA and Lincoln Rural Fire District campus, they did it in style, inviting several local agencies to participate and offering a wide variety of entertaining and educational options for those who decided to pay a visit.

They also decided to add to the appeal by serving a free hot dog lunch and offering a bounce house for the kids.

When the day began Saturday, everything fell into place. Everyone who agreed to participate was there, the CPR and AED training was divided into three sessions and took place throughout the day, and the Air Evac Lifeteam even came in and spent part of the morning showing the public their helicopter and explaining what they do and how.
