Camp Kiwi in Carmel was taken over by some rather big kids Saturday when New York State Senator Greg Ball (R,C - Patterson) hosted a barbecue for America's Bravest.

Camp owner Ivan Bellotto of Mahopac donated the use of the facility and area restaurants provided food for local police, firefighters, EMS workers, veterans and their families.

Swimming, boating and socializing were among the activities and the Westchester County Police Aviation Unit's helicopter did a flyover, circling the event several times.
