On Saturday, September 26 from 11am to 3pm, families met up at Flint’s White Building parking lot to get a fun and informative front-row seat with about 40 different types of safety vehicles. Some of the vehicles included ambulances, a helicopter, police vehicles, and semi-trucks. This 4th annual, free event is designed to build relationships between the police, students, and the Flint community, but it is also a truck-load of fun for children and their families! Those who attended were able to sit in the driver’s seat of safety vehicles and see how they work, in hopes of showing law enforcement and other emergency workers in a positive light.
Everyone is invited to join the fun at the first ever Flint River Fest. The event will take place on Friday, October 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. and is sponsored by The Hagerman Foundation. The entire community is invited to attend this free event and is hosted by the Flint River Corridor Alliance (FRCA), the Flint River Watershed Coalition (FRWC) and the Flint Downtown Development Authority.

It’s a well-known fact that we all love our cell phones, cameras, high-tech gadgets and computers. But did you know that in the Democratic Republic of Congo – sub-Saharan Africa’s largest country – many thousands of people are dying because of the minerals that are used to make them? Flint native Mike Ramsdell has produced a documentary to raise awareness of what has been called the worst human atrocity since World War II.
