Special to the Times Vedette
The Guthrie County 4-H is partnering with Community Safety Net to help protect the children in Guthrie County.
Safety Net has produced a Rural Safety Guide for Guthrie County farming families and children interested in agriculture. The guide covers topics including pesticide safety, protective equipment, tractors, ATVs, snowmobiles, animals, farm buildings and machinery. It also includes first-aid information for common injuries and safety tips for parents.
It is family-friendly, includes a full-color 96-page book, award-winning videos, word searches, crosswords, quizzes and puzzles. Once children have completed the guide, there is a Certificate of Achievement and “A Pledge for my Future” certificate to be filled out.
For those who wish to donate and support Community Safety Net and Guthrie County 4-H, visit https://communitysafetynet.com/leaders/guthrie-center-community-safety-net/. Donations can be made at a set dollar amount ($16 per child), or a custom amount.
