S.A.E.S.A Open House and Stockbridge Farmers Market combine for fun, food, and learning

On Tuesday, June 19, S.A.E.S.A. held an open house during the Stockbridge Farmers Market. The event featured loads of activities during the market hours, with many of S.A.E.S.A’s emergency vehicles on display for visitors to see and investigate.

Children received firefighter hats and stickers and participated in a simple training that enabled them to experience using a fire hose to spray a cardboard image of a house in flames. Free water, chips, and hotdogs were provided for everyone’s enjoyment.

A few days before the event, sponsors ensured the water bill was paid to promote smiling faces at the Open House as water sprayed down on the kids who were busy splashing and having a great time.

Special thanks go out to the following dedicated sponsors for helping the new Tuesday Farmers Market to grow: Stockbridge DDA; Geri Uihlein and The G.U. Crew; Sales Associates with Howard Hanna; DigitalCrumbs: Photography, Media, Art & Design; the Stockbridge Area Emergency Services Authority (S.A.E.S.A.);  and Plane Food Market.
