- 03/30/23
GRESHAM, Ore. – The City of Gresham is excited to invite the community to the first annual SafetyFest taking place April 1 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Gresham City Hall, 1333 Northwest Eastman Parkway, Gresham. SafetyFest is a safety resource event where the community can find safety themed resources, food, and family friendly activities all for free.
“Safety means different things to different people,” said Fire Chief Scott Lewis. “SafetyFest is a great opportunity to create a one stop shop for many of our community’s safety needs.”
Some of the activities at SafetyFest will include:
- A firefighter obstacle course
- Bike rodeo
- Bounce house
- Face painting
SafetyFest is a chance to meet the staff and community organizations working to make this community a safer place and receive safety-related resources, including automobile anti-theft devices for the first hundred attendees.
“We’re excited to partner with our community to create a safer Gresham,” says Gresham Police Chief Travis Gullberg. “After the unprecedented response to the anti-theft devices we handed out in December, we knew we had to create more opportunities to provide our community with the resources that matter most to them, and this event is one more way we’re working to do that.”
