Last Thursday, the city of Clearwater opened its doors to a special group of visitors – the children of its hardworking employees! Bring Your Child to Work Day was a day filled with excitement, learning, and fun as kids got a firsthand look at where their parents make Clearwater shine. From exploring office spaces to getting hands-on with equipment, the kiddos had a blast helping out their parents and discovering the ins and outs of city work. One of the highlights was witnessing a Clearwater Police Department Police K-9 in action, showcasing the incredible skills of these four-legged heroes.
