Out With The Old; In With The New

Kevin Bergersen, boating-law administrator at the Arizona Game And Fish Department, is surrounded by the pile of life jackets that people turned in so they could get new, updated ones — for free — at last year’s Tri-State Boating Safety Fair.

Again this year, boating officials from three states (Arizona, California, and Nevada) are teaming up to highlight the importance of wearing PFDs. The ninth annual event is set for May 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at London Bridge Beach Park, Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
