CLAREMORE - The fourth annual Children's Safety Day is planned Saturday at the J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum.
The Grand River Dam Authority and Claremore Electric are sponsors of the free event, which is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is geared toward children in the sixth grade and younger.
"This event is beneficial for the children as well as their parents," Claremore Fire Marshal Jason Crandall said.
