What's better than playing with a garden hose?

Getting drenched by firefighters' water hoses, of course!

The annual End of Summer Hose Down, which is hosted by the Palm Harbor Library, attracted the largest crowd of kids ever, according to organizers (see video).  

Tuesday morning, Palm Harbor Firefighters set up a truck and fire hoses at Palm Field and doused kids of all ages. We even saw some parents get in on the action, too! 

Did your kid get drenched? Be sure to send us your photos and we'll add them to this article, just like we did with photos submitted by mom Emily Sugar, whose 2-year-old son Hudson donned a fire hat for the occasion!
