While the 72 Hour Kit display was my responsibility at the 2010 Fair, I was relieved by none other than my mother for a few minutes so I could play "attendee." I took our children around to see the booths that interested them and you know exactly where we ended up...outside.
I'd like to take liberties now and express personal thanks to the Lapeer EMS team and the city fire department. They could not have been more accommodating to a mother of five small children if they'd passed out PB&J sandwiches.
Tim, with EMS, spent so much time taking the children through the ambulance and explaining all that happens inside. He even did a radio check to the hospital just to show them how it all works. The lights and sirens were lots of fun and he put on a good show. Such a treat for them! Yesterday as our oldest drove through Lapeer with her father she said, "Hey - there's the ambulance from the Preparedness Fair!" Great memories were made there. Thank you, Tim.
After our virtual ambulance ride, we mosied on over to the fire truck and Sparky the Remote Fire Dog. Yeah, OK, we RAN to the fire truck. And we stayed a long time. What a treat to get into the truck and have so many questions answered by a very knowledgeable fire fighter. The hoses, the axes, the chainsaws and all the tools were fun to see. The inside of the truck was really great! So great that we captured the moment forever. Many thanks to such a great crew. They made the Fair a great experience for our family.
