SERVPRO of Davenport/Bettendorf wants to thank everyone that came out to WQAD's Kids Wild Fest at Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley, IL on Saturday! It was a great time and we hope everyone that attended had a great time as well. Our staff had an absolute blast meeting so many people from the Quad City area. The weather was pretty hot but it was well worth it. We had plenty of candy and toys for the kids that stopped by our tent. It was a pleasure to let their parents know how SERVPRO of Davenport/Bettendorf could help them out should fire, water or mold damage their home. A big thanks goes out to Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors and WQAD for putting on this event! Look for us out in the community this summer and if you see us be sure to stop and say hi!
