Have some documents you need shredded? 

Want to sample food or get a deal on a used library book?

Or maybe you’d like to bring your kids to a scavenger hunt or get your pet registered in case he or she gets lost?

If you’re a Highland Beach resident, you can get all of those things accomplished at the town’s annual Spring Fling, set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 24 at Town Hall. 

“The Spring Fling is a free, fun-filled event for both adults and children,” said Town Clerk Lanelda Gaskins. “It’s a great way to meet and greet town commissioners, staff and other residents.”

The fling will be packed with things to do for everyone in the family, including pets. 

The town will provide free hot dogs, sodas, water and chips, and a variety of local food vendors will offer samples. 

Representatives from the Highland Beach Public Library will conduct a book fair, offering surplus books, and firefighters will show off the town’s new fire apparatus and offer free blood-pressure screenings. 

Returning this year will be the Proshred truck, which will shred paper documents from residents at no charge.

As it has done for the past few years, the Highland Beach Police Department will have staff on hand to photograph your pet and enter the picture and information into a department database to assist recovery should the pet become lost. 

There will be games for children and a scavenger hunt where kids can search out hidden candy. 

For more information, call Town Hall at 278-4548.
