MILTON — Santa Rosa County Emergency Management held a Back to School Safety Bash at the Emergency Operations Center in Milton.

The event educated the community on safety; guests could visit with police officers, firefighters and other first responders.

Festivities included free food, bicycle helmet fitting and the chance for several children to win bicycles. Many guests brought school supplies to donate that will go to the FamiliesFirst Network.
