Families who made it out to Cody Park on Friday evening couldn't have asked for better weather.
The Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council sponsored Family Fun Night, where children enjoyed free rides.
Packets filled with valuable parenting information were also given to adults.
The event is all part of an effort to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect..while having a good time.
This is the second year for the event.
This year's theme is ”ReThink Your Reaction.”
“Parenting can be stressful and it is a difficult job for everybody,” said Matt Fosket, Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council. “ReThink Your Reaction is we want parents when they are getting into a stressful situation with their children is to stop and rethink what they are going to do before they do it and taking that time out as an adult before they take action they might regret.”
