Community Day
So here's John Everett happy as a clam coloring on his free Crayola Pirates of the Carribean paper with his free Crayola crayons that he got at our Community Fair on Saturday! Every year Hellertown (usually around John's birthday) throws a "Community Day" for the public. It's a very cheap, small thing for residents to attend to learn about their local community and family businesses in the area. They had a free train ride for the kiddies, tons of free goodies advertising businesses! My personal favorite wasn't free, but man was it worth the $5.00 that I paid! It's the little brown metal UPS Truck at the bottom right of the picture! John Everett played with that truck ALL DAY LONG! People were giving out pens, pencils, mugs, recycle shopping bags, it was great! John Everett also learned about fire and bike safety from the police ad firefighters, it was way cool! I also finally learned about a Food Bank that's coming to my neighborhood (they are moving into a building around the corner from my house.) I was so happy to learn about this, because I've really been looking for something that can "fill me up" that I can give my time too, something that I can "give back" too and this looks like it's perfect! :) They also give to food to animal shelters too! I'm hoping I can get involved!
Yeah, this was a lot of fun. The local firefighters had a trailer that they set up to look like a small home and rigged with dry ice to simulate a fire. They took groups of kids in and taught them about stove safety, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, how to pull a fire alarm, and what to do in case of a fire in your house. John Everett's version of these events: "I went in and there was a fire!"

Cool news about the food bank.
I don't have a blog. I am thinking about it. You've inspired me again! I do have a place to call mine for now so that I can comment on the handful of blogs I read.
