On Saturday July 19th the town of Hubbard came to life with the usual Hops Festival. There was a parade around town that included a fire engine, hops adorned floats, and even a mobile honey bucket. When the parade ended however the fun had just begun for the residents and surrounding neighbors of Hubbard. Thanks to Sheba Wooddell-Hubbard Police Department. Her energy and dedication to safety once again resulted in an outstanding event known as the Hubbard Safety Village.
Upon arrival attendees were encouraged to register. They were given goodie bags full of safety paraphernalia and a worksheet that listed all of the stations. At each station the attendees were instructed to collect a sticker after participating. Depending on how many stickers they were able to collect they were eligible for different prize levels and entered to win the grand prize, an air hockey table. The stations included: trunk entrapment, spot the tot, child passenger safety education, ODOT prize wheel, helmet fit and distribution, and much more.
The village saw around 400 people. It was an amazing sight. Sheba Wooddell says, "If we made a difference in just ONE Life- it's all worth the Task. That Life could be someone you know or love." The Hubbard Safety Village was truly a success. Thank you not only to Sheba but to all who volunteered their time and expertise in an effort to make Oregon's children safer.
