The Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Association is sponsoring a complimentary Pancake Breakfast and Safety Day on Feb. 28 from 9 to 11:45am at the Alma Community Centre.
Safety in and around the home is the focus of the event.
“There will be kid-friendly, interactive booths set up inside the hall. Outside the hall, guest speakers will share their knowledge on snowmobile and snow blower safety. Walk-behind and tractor-mounted snow blowers will be on display,” said committee member Walter Grose.
Videos on horse and buggy safety will be shown throughout the morning, along with presentations on safety around grain, bins and farm equipment. Booths on safe driving, back safety, chemical safety around the home, basic first aid, emergency preparedness and Crime Stoppers will be set up indoors. Trained staff will be available to share information and answer questions.
Participants receive a passport that is checked at each booth. A goody bag will be given to everyone that visits every booth. Local companies have donated door prizes.
“There will be lots to learn and see. It’s important that adults and children alike learn the safe way to do things around the farm and home,” Grose stated.
Donations will be accepted in support of the organization. For more information contact Walter at 519-846-5329.
