Fermilab employees and their kids had a blast at this year’s Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2017. The Fire Department put on a fire safety demonstration, the Office of Education and Public Outreach hosted hands-on science demonstrations in the atrium, and Mr. Freeze put on his always wonderfully explosive show. Enjoy the photos, by Reidar Hahn.
