EAST LONGMEADOW – Families came out to enjoy the sunshine and neighborly atmosphere at two separate community events on Sept. 24.
The East Longmeadow Police Department (ELPD) hosted its annual Coffee With a Cop event at East Longmeadow High School. More than just coffee, the event is organized as a chance for residents to get to know members of law enforcement in a positive atmosphere. ELPD, Massachusetts State Police and the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department were on hand to talk with residents, entertain children and provide free car seats with information for proper fitting and installation.
“There are so many opportunities for a car seat to be misused,” said Magda Colon, an instructor with the Massachusetts Child Passenger Safety program. “It’s not to blame [parents]. There’s so many car seats out there, to choose the right one is difficult.”
Over at Center Field, Fall Fest attracted people with craft vendors, games and information about town services and projects. Organized by the Rotary Club of East Longmeadow, the event offered musical entertainment, food, and a chance for local businesses to put their name and goods out to the public.
