Shawnee Open House

I took a bit of a break from volunteering but got back in the saddle this weekend. I volunteered for a few hours at City of Shawnee's Open House that was held on Saturday September 17, 2016. I am currently a member of Shawnee's CERT team and helped staff an information booth at the Open House. The Open House had a ton of activities for kids and lots of information for adults from the city's different departments including: Maintenance, Parks & Rec, Police, Fire. CERT is run out of the Fire Department which makes sense since it is Emergency Management. Anyhoo... it was a lot of fun (when isn't working with the fire department fun?). The Open House was held at the John B Glaser Fire Station. Here are pics from the event: 






Sparky is a remote controlled car. Firefighters had a great time playing with the kids and the remote car!

Sparky!











LifeStar was a popular attraction especially during landing and again when it took off for the day.





I wasn't representing the Red Cross at the Open Hosue but did make sure to say Hi to the volunteers who represented the RC, including the service dog in training that one of the volunteers brought along!
