The sixth joint Fillmore/Houston County fourth grade Farm Safety Day Camp is being held on Tuesday, May 15 at the Mabel Steam Engine Grounds. The event has 485 students registered, representing all fifteen schools in the two counties.
During the day, they will hear presentations on basic first aid, fire extinguishers, calling 911 and using seat belts, lawn mower safety, ATV safety, tractor rollovers, livestock safety, general farm safety, danger of grain drowning, sun safety, electrical safety, and PTO safety. MedLink Air from Gundersen Lutheran working with the Mabel Ambulance Crew is scheduled to be present in the afternoon.
The Fillmore County Cattlemen are serving lunch to nearly 600 people, in addition to the fourth grade students; there are teachers, volunteer presenters, and FFA members. The lunch includes hamburgers, white and chocolate milk provided by the Fillmore County ADA, Houston DHIA, Fillmore County DHIA, and Houston County ADA; the Rushford, Preston, and Harmony IGA’s are providing chips, with bananas coming from Kwik Trip.
The Mabel-Canton, Spring Grove, Fillmore Central, Rushford-Peterson, and Caledonia FFA’s will serve as group leaders, assist presenters, do presentations, and provide many other valuable services. Each student will receive two farm safety books to take home. Generation X Construction and the Lanesboro Sales Commission help fund t-shirts for each student and FFA member assisting.
