The Eagle Pass Police Department and Eagle Pass Fire Department held their first Family Day, bringing employees and their families together for food, recreation and time away from their daily duties.

Resource Program Administrator Rebecca Montoya coordinated the event in collaboration with the Eagle Pass Public Health Coalition, with support from the Eagle Pass Parks and Recreation Department.

Both agencies and their families enjoyed hot dogs, hamburgers and an opportunity to visit with one another outside the demands of their work.

The gathering recognized the families whose support helped police officers, firefighters and other department employees carry out their responsibilities to the community. It also gave personnel from both agencies an opportunity to strengthen friendships and spend time with their loved ones.

Organizers thanked Montoya, the coalition, Parks and Recreation staff and everyone who helped coordinate the activities and meal.

The departments described their first Family Day as a success and expressed interest in holding another gathering.
