We will place a raw egg in your creation and the firefighters will drop it from the raised ladder truck (so be sure to bring whatever is needed to close your egg in)! Put your thinking caps on and protect your egg at all costs! All adults and kids are welcome to participate! If you make it through the first round, you move on to the second round and we continue until only one egg is left not broken! The winner will receive a Kindle Fire! There will be fire safety activities and fun stuff to do for adults and children that evening too! Great event for the entire family! So call or stop into the library and sign up to create your “egg-tastic” safe container now! If you cannot make the event, drop off your container and closure system by 5pm this day (marked with your name) and we will enter it too!!
