Families from around the area converged on Gulfport’s Recreation Center for Fun in the Sun Day on Saturday, April 4. There was something for everyone: bounce houses and train rides, balloon toys, free hot dogs, and an Easter egg hunt for the smallest visitors. Hundreds of people turned out for the event, which was sponsored by the city of Gulfport, Stetson Law’s Public Service Fellows and various local businesses and associations.

Alyssa Gipson, 5, of St. Petersburg, shows off the Easter eggs she collected Saturday at Gulfport’s Fun in the Sun event. “We’re having a great time,” said her mother Ineke Gipson. She said Alyssa’s favorite activity was climbing on the fire truck “because she wants to be a firefighter.”
