August 5, 2024 – Merced County Sheriff's Office officials announce FloatFest event was a success.
Safety in numbers! On Saturday, the Merced County Sheriff’s Office participated in FloatFest. Hundreds came to the Merced River in Snelling to float down to Henderson Park. Our Water Rescue and Recovery Team was onsite to help assist any floaters.
Thankfully, the event went off without a hitch, and all floaters made it safely down the river. We’d also like to thank Century 21 for donating life vests for our community. Some attendees at today’s event were more than happy to receive them!
