Child injured in Riverfest play area.

A child was injured shortly before 8 PM Saturday evening in the Friends and Family Play All Day area at the Tallahatchie Riverfest.

The boy reportedly fell from a piece of play equipment and complained of pain.

The child’s grandmother mother took him to New Albany Fire Department (NAFD) EMTs for attention. Emergency personnel did not believe the child had life-threatening injuries.

However, the boy was transported by ambulance to the emergency department at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County so he could receive whatever medical attention might be needed.
