The Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Association is looking for volunteers to help out at its next Children’s Safety Day on April 23.
Volunteers are needed to assist with registration, escorting groups from station to station, serving lunch, etc.
The event will be held at Farfield Farms of Alma.
Wellington Farm Safety board member Walter Grose said youngsters can expect to learn about safety as it pertains to tractors, fires, large animals, chemicals, hearing, shops, power take offs (PTOs) and, new this year, guns.
This is a very important day for farm families to attend, said Grose.
“We’re hosting it before the start of the busy season on the farm to remind families about staying safe,” he said.
The Wellington County Farm and Home Safety Association’s 2016 Children’s Safety Day runs from 9:30am to 3pm at Farfield Farms, 7312 Sideroad 5W, in Centre Wellington, one sideroad south of Alma.
Registration opens at 9:30am. A complementary lunch will be provided to all who participate in the event. Children will receive goodie bags courtesy of local businesses.
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Walter Grose at 519-846-5329 .
