At Sun For Rent, we are deeply connected to our community here in San Luis Obispo. Every year, we look forward to sponsoring events that bring people together, and one of the highlights of our year is Sheriff’s Family Day. 

Since its inception in 1996, this event has been a symbol of community strength, showcasing the incredible men and women of our local Sheriff’s Department, who work tirelessly to keep our County safe. This year, we are honored to provide our solar generators to help power this event, bringing clean and sustainable energy to Family Day.

What’s amazing about Sheriff’s Family Day is how it brings the whole community together to celebrate the hard work of law enforcement, all while providing families with an educational and fun-filled day. From the Sheriff’s Posse and Search and Rescue teams to the impressive SWAT vehicle displays, there’s always something new to learn about how our local deputies operate behind the scenes.

For many kids (and adults), seeing the emergency response helicopters up close or watching the Jaws of Life demonstration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And let’s not forget the K9 demonstrations—who wouldn’t love meeting a four-legged officer in action?

A Day for the Kids

For the children of San Luis Obispo, Sheriff’s Family Day is an especially exciting day. Where else can they get free T-shirts, junior sheriff badge stickers, hot dogs, and coloring books while interacting with law enforcement officers? The bike raffle, a perennial favorite, brings smiles to the faces of many lucky winners, and the chance to shake hands with Sheriff Ian Parkinson and even meet Sheriff Woody from Toy Story adds a magical touch to the day.

But beyond the fun, we think it’s important to highlight the educational value of this event. Children leave Family Day with a deeper understanding and respect for the people who work to keep their community safe. At Sun For Rent, we believe that teaching the next generation about safety, responsibility, and community is invaluable, and we’re proud to be a part of that.

Powering Family Day with Solar Energy

As a company dedicated to sustainability, we couldn’t be more thrilled to provide the solar power generators that will help bring Family Day to life. This year’s Family Day will be both a celebration of our Sheriff’s Department and a showcase for how renewable energy can contribute to large-scale community events.

By powering Family Day, we’re not only supporting the event logistically, but we’re also raising awareness about the benefits of solar power for future community gatherings. It’s not just about offering rentals; it’s about being part of the change we want to see in the world—one that relies on cleaner, greener, and more sustainable energy solutions.

Why Family Day Matters to Us

Family Day is more than just another event on the calendar for us. As residents of this beautiful area, we are connected to the people, the places, and the causes that make San Luis Obispo special. Seeing the excitement on children’s faces as they explore the sheriff’s exhibits and meeting community members who are just as passionate about safety and security as we are fills us with pride every year.

Supporting Sheriff’s Family Day is our way of giving back to a community that has given us so much. From the Sheriff’s Department to the volunteers and vendors who make the day possible, it’s inspiring to see everyone come together for a common goal—building a stronger, safer San Luis Obispo.

Looking Forward to Future Family Days

We hope you’ll join us this year at the Madonna Inn Meadows on the second Saturday of September for what promises to be another fantastic Family Day. Stop by to see all the incredible demonstrations, grab some free goodies, and don’t forget to check out the solar-powered stations we’ll be providing to keep the day running smoothly!

At Sun For Rent, we’re not just powering an event; we’re powering the future. We are proud to play our part in making Sheriff’s Family Day a success, and we can’t wait to continue supporting this amazing event for years to come.
