Longmont Preparedness Fair

Mom and Dad got to participate in the Longmont Stake Preparedness Fair. I honestly did not know what to expect from a Preparedness Fair. I expected to see two to three tables set up in the gym with occasional members coming to check it out- boy was I wrong. This fair was publicized in the Longmont newspaper, there were signs on the streets and it welcomed everyone (members and nonmembers). The gym was full of booths (all coordinating in color), there were classes in rooms throughout the church and the parking lot was full of other displays.


Mom and Dad were in charge of the Food Storage portion. They had displays showing why to have food storage, how much is a 3 months, 6 months and year supply, ideas for storage (both how to store the food and where to store the food) and other facts about food storage preparedness. It was so cool to go see Mom and Dad in action (answering questions, ect) but I also learned a lot from the fair. I walked around and learned about water purification, bread making, gardening, Non-food emergency items, dry food canning and much more. It was so cool and I really learned a lot.
