Weekend buzz

Looking for something to do this weekend?

The Garrison fire Department is celebrating fire prevention week. Stop by the fire hall on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. at 27174 Central Street in Garrison for some free fun for the whole family.

Did I mention FREE? There will be free fire truck rides; free blood pressure screening; free vile of life program; free hot dogs, brats, chips and pop, free gifts; and free goodie bags.

You will have an opportunity to meet the members of the Garrison fire and rescue department, Smokey the Bear, and Crow Wing county Sheriff Todd Dahl.

There will be lots of information to help keep your family safe in case of fire.

Stop on by and say hello.

Later that evening you can take a stand to end domestic violence. Members of TADA — teens against dating violence — invite you to dance away dating violence in a safe and healthy environment.

And it is FREE!

There will be DJ music by Top Shelf Karaoke for dancing enjoyment. A karaoke contest will certainly entertain the guests with other contests, games, prizes food and fun. This is a great opportunity to support healthy relationships and promote teens against dating abuse. You may even meet new friends! There is a surprise guest appearance! (I don't even know who or what that is all about, but I can hardly wait to find out!)
