Thanks to Wilson Human Relations Office, Wilson Police Department, Wilson Fire/Rescue Services and everyone who made this such a great and fun event!

This Saturday a Honeybee Day celebration and the rescheduled Police & EMS Commemoration Day will serve up some exciting activities and a chance to see police vehicles along with meeting local first responders.
