The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday winner.
The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS The Cincinnati Fire Department! The BEARCAT mascot visited the Cincinnati Fire and Safety Fair this week at Yeatman's Cove. The Kids Safety Fair is an opportunity for all children in the Greater Cincinnati Area to be educated in all aspects of safety. At the event, fire fighters and police officers and other safety officials in the Greater Cincinnati Area used fire safe houses, puppet shows and mock demonstrations to educate children on fire safety issues at Yeatman's Cove.
"The Bearcat was a hit at the Cincinnati Fire Department's Kids Safety Fair. His presence was one of the highlights of the fair that was attended by 3,200 children grades 1st-3rd," said Fred Prather, District Fire Chief. "The Bearcat brought smiles to the faces of the children while Safety Official helped educate them on fire safety, the dangers of carbon monoxide, as well as the importance of bicycle and water safety, etc. He was priceless. Way to go Bearcat!"
