The Sheriff's Office will also include members of the Mounted Posse, Boat and Water

Patrol, Hubbard/Wadena ERU Team, ATV Patrol, K-9 Unit, Sentence to Serve, Corrections and Communications, among others.

Also included in the event will be a "drunk goggles" display, AirCare helicopter, and a K-9 demonstration.

A light meal will be offered free of charge. Sheriff Cory Aukes encourages everyone to

bring the family, get to know your local law enforcement officers, and have a lot of fun.
