ALLEGAN, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Sept. 19, 2024) – The equinox on the calendar comes on Sunday, but unlike in March, when awareness of storm preparedness is heightened by the arrival of spring, such a precautionary attitude isn’t as pervasive with the coming of autumn.
That perhaps is part of the reasoning behind Thursday Prepare Fair in Allegan. From 4-7 PM at the Allegan City Airport’s Padgham Field (740 Grand St.), various agencies will be on hand to inform the public about how to prepare for emergencies, including offering free safety and preparedness items. The Michigan State Police helicopter and a Michigan Air National Guard Black Hawk chopper will be on display, while many fun activities for all ages are planned, and food and refreshments will be available while they last.
The free event is a joint effort between the Allegan County Emergency Management office, the city of Allegan, and the state police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division as a part of commemorating September as Michigan’s Preparedness Month.
