Every year at our local Home Depot store, out in the front parking lot, there is a free emergency preparedness show put on for everyone in Magnolia. Sam is always the DJ for the show and does a great job getting everyone involved, sings a few songs and has fun with the kids!
Bex with her Home Depot apron on after finishing her bird house project. All the canopies are in place so everyone can interact with the various groups that provide information on our local emergency provisions, plans and procedures! The teenagers volunteer and put on a good show of emergency situations that require immediate attention and the simulation in great to walk through! Love seeing all the fake blood and guts and smiling faces!

The inside was awesome to see that if there is an emergency, there are enough beds and supplies to get 16-20 safely out of harms way!
After strolling through all the booths and collecting the free goodies and information on various preparedness companies, the kids had a great time eating free hot dogs and working at the craft table to create their bird houses, paint and all!
It is a great reminder for me to always be informed and get prepared for any type of emergency situation that can occur here in Texas! I love that our church is so involved in running this program and that we are able to reach out to so many nonmembers that attend!
