California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is holding the 15th Annual Life Jacket Trade-In. Events will be held statewide on May 17. One life jacket per family, while supplies last. Safe Kids Greater Sacramento and Radio Disney will be hosting the Trade-In at the Kohls department store at 1896 Arden Way (across from Arden Fair Mall) on Saturday, May 17 from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm.
The life jacket trade-in provides recreational boaters the opportunity for life jackets to be inspected by professionals. If a life jacket is found to be outgrown or unserviceable, a new, properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket is given in exchange.
These events are being conducted in connection with National Safe Boating Week (May 17-23), which aims to spread the message about life jacket wear and other life-saving boating practices.
