PEORIA
FIRE AND EDGE 103.9 REMIND CONCERT GOERS ABOUT HEAT SAFETY
Edgefest 2004 is scheduled for Saturday September 18th, from Noon to 10:00 pm at
the Peoria Sports Complex, 16101 N. 83rd Avenue. The all day music
festival will feature 40 bands on 5 stages, food, a variety of merchandise
booths and more.
During the 2003 event
numerous concert attendees were treated by the Peoria Fire Department for heat
related illnesses as well as other injuries.
The Peoria Fire Department and Edge 103.9 want the concert to be an
enjoyable and memorable activity. To help, we are providing the following safety
reminders:
The day before, concertgoers
need to make sure they drink plenty of water to hydrate their bodies.
On
the day of the concert;
·
Eat a good meal
before coming out to the stadium
·
Bring money
with you so you can eat during the day
·
BRING WATER
WITH YOU!!!! The stadium will allow you to bring in one sealed
container of water.
·
It’s
recommended that you DO NOT wear dark (black, navy blue, etc.), heavy clothing
to the concert.
·
WEAR light
colored loose fitting clothing so you will remain cooler.
·
Wear closed toe
shoes, NO SANDALS. As we see a lot of foot injuries.
·
Limit the
consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is not a fluid replacement and if you are going
to drink alcohol, eat food as well.
·
If you are
going to drink alcohol, HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER!!
