Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux invites the public to attend a Community Carnival Saturday at Ivanhoe Elementary School as his new NFL Flag Football League takes the field.

Two dozen flag football teams will participate in short scrimmage games on multiple fields. 

“For the first time in the history of the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, we are reaching 224 children who ordinarily would never be able to play this type of sport,” Sheriff Boudreaux said. “Be a part of your team, be a part of your community and let’s get our kids involved in something other than gangs and drugs.”

The Sheriff’s SWAT Bearcat, UAV drone unit, Deputy BuzzBee, K-9 and much more will be on display as well as community information booths. More than 600 people are expected to attend this free, family-friendly event.
Thousands of dollars have been raised to help pay for the new flag football league, which is free for boys and girls in grades K-8.

Community support is vital to the continued success of the flag football league. Sheriff Boudreaux said he appreciates those individuals and businesses who have sponsored teams.
