Keep Butts in Your Vehicle
Dustin Dienst, Faribault Fire Chief told KDHL AM Minnesota listeners today to borrow a phrase from former Chief Mike Monge, Keep your butts in your vehicle.
Of course this is a reference to cigarette or cigar butts. Instead of throwing them out the window, extinguish and leave them inside the vehicle so they can be disposed of properly later.
Dienst spoke considerably about grassfires because frankly it is grassfire season.
Dienst pointed out his department assisted River Bend Nature Center by doing a prescribed burn of acres.
He says, We burned four or five different areas. One was a really large area just north of the main visitor s center. It s pretty cool to see that. If you ve never seen a big blackened field you might want to cruise up to the nature center and see it.

WALC Book Fair Finds New Home at MPEC This Weekend
The Wichita Falls Adult Literacy Council is saying this book fair will have double the books and triple the space of their previous events.
The 21st annual WALC Book Fair is this Thursday through Saturday and it s in a brand new location. For several years the book fairs have been held at the Sikes Lake Center building at Midwestern State University. The room was filled with rows of tables filled with books and just enough space for readers to wander through and find their treasures. This year the Book Fair will be held in the Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall at the MPEC. That means the WALC will have a lot more space to work with so shoppers can spread out and maintain some social distancing as they browse.
