The town of Argyle recently hosted a Child Safety Fair, which was deemed a tremendous success. The event took place on June 6 and was led by Police Chief Emmett Jackson and the public safety team. Local organizations, first responders, and vendors participated, providing a fun day for hundreds of families while educating them on child safety topics.
A chili cook-off was also part of the event, bringing out competition and fun among attendees. The success of the fair is attributed to the participation and support of the community, including volunteers, sponsors, and organizers.
Further details about the event and other town activities, such as the Town Hall neighborhood meetings, are available from the Cross Timbers Gazette.
