There will also be four large group demonstrations showing power
take-off entanglement, heavy gates or a tractor dual falling on an
object, fire safety and a helicopter fly-in by MedLink Air.
Parents can register their children to participate in the camp by
picking up a registration form at the main entrance of Veterans
Memorial Hospital or from the Allamakee County Extension Office.
Or you may register for the camp on-line at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com.
A $10 registration fee for the event covers lunch, snacks, a take-home
packet, first aid kit and a safety day camp T-shirt. For
