Friday Fun: It's Don't Fry Day!

Friday Fun: 

It's Don't Fry Day!

Hey, hey, hey... It's Don't Fry Day!

And we are not talking food.

Don't Fry Day, also known as National Heat Awareness Safety Day, has been observed the Friday before Memorial Day since 2009.

Going out in the sun? Hitting the beach? The prairie? Pool-side? Your backyard or patio?

Play it smart. 

Not only should you be using plenty of sunblock. Not only should you be remaining well-hydrated (non-alcoholic beverages count). Not only should you be taking frequent breaks by sitting in the shade. 

But you should also remain well-aware of the temperature and your surroundings. And bring a cap or sun hat for your head.

That sun? It's our friend. It's great entertainment. And it feels wonderful on our skin. 

But don't let it fool you. 

Heat exhaustion can overtake you without you even being aware.

So play it smart and use common sense when enjoying yourself outdoors. 

A trip to the emergency room or a nasty sunburn are both great ways to ruin your fun in the sun.

So, be a wise guy - don't fry!

Safety first.

Carelessness is the #1 way...

To ruin a good time!
