Safety fair taking shape: 11 agencies confirmed, Smokey the Bear to appear
Summary
Ad hoc organizers reported 11 agencies and three trucks confirmed for the Blue Lake safety fair; Smokey the Bear will attend, the community resource center will donate lunch and the volunteer fire department will serve it.
Commissioner (S3), who chairs the ad hoc safety-fair committee, said invitations went out early in June and 11 agencies have responded positively; three trucks are confirmed and the Community Resource Center will donate the free lunch while the Blue Lake Volunteer Fire Department agreed to serve it. "Smokey can come," she said after contacting the mascot's representative, and organizers are refining the flyer and vendor check-in procedures.
The committee discussed demonstrations (fire extinguisher demos, pet and large-animal safety, and an amateur-radio station), a vendor list (11 confirmed, 25 invited) and logistics for drive-in drop-off windows and a drivable lane during the fair. Commissioners asked for a formal sign-up sheet at the next meeting so commissioners can take specific roles during the event.
