Families from across Claiborne Parish are invited to spend a day of food, fun, and public safety education during the upcoming “Fun Day with the Firemen” event at Lake Claiborne State Park on Saturday, June 6.

The free community event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the state park near Homer and will feature local first responders, demonstrations, family activities, and opportunities for residents to meet the men and women who serve their communities.

Hosted in partnership with several public safety agencies, the event will include representatives from Homer Fire & Rescue, Claiborne Fire District 5, Louisiana State Police, Delta Elite K-9, and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Organizers say attendees will have the chance to interact with emergency responders, learn about public safety, explore emergency vehicles and equipment, and gain valuable information about the work performed by local agencies.

Lake Claiborne State Park officials are encouraging residents to make plans to attend, noting that previous events have been popular with families looking for a fun and educational outing.

“If you’ve been to one of these events before, you know it’s all about the food, the fun, and maybe even learning something new,” park officials shared in promoting the event.

Lunch will be provided free of charge, and organizers emphasize that there is no cost to attend.

The event is open to the public and designed to strengthen community relationships while promoting safety awareness.

In addition to meeting firefighters and other first responders, visitors can expect demonstrations and activities geared toward children and adults alike, making the event an ideal family-friendly destination for the weekend.

Officials note that the gathering is intended to be a community-focused event centered on fun, public safety education, and building stronger connections between residents and emergency service personnel.

Residents throughout Claiborne Parish and surrounding areas are encouraged to bring their families and enjoy a day at Lake Claiborne State Park while supporting the local agencies that help keep their communities safe.
