Children enjoy cooling off as they soar down the inflatable water slide during the Port Arthur Police Department's Fun Fest, held at Valley View Estates Friday. Games, bounce houses, a water slide, snacks, and raffle prizes for children were among the highlights of the event, which is part of PAPAD's initiative to create a stronger bond and good relations within the community. The department plans to hold similar events monthly throughout the summer and for as long as funds allow. They are working in conjunction with the Housing Authority to hold the festivals at housing complexes throughout the community. Photo taken Friday, June 16, 2017 Kim Brent/The Enterprise
