| By Lisa Dalla Vecchia, Communications Manager The inaugural Outdoor Safety & Emergency Preparedness Open House, held on Saturday, May 7, at Argyle School, was a tremendous success! Visit the event’s website to view photos from the day (scroll to the bottom of the page). As you can see from the images, the day was filled with big smiles, whether from children climbing into rescue equipment, including helicopter, ladder truck, or ATVs; participating organizations eager to speak with members of the public; families connecting with first responders and experts in emergency management; student volunteers welcoming the community to their school; or school district staff, pleased to be able to bring the community together once again.
