FAIRBURY, Neb. -- Progressive Agriculture Safety Day is set for July 30 and registration forms are now available. 

This year’s Safety Day is the 25th event for the local chapter of Jefferson County Farm Safety 4 Just Kids at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. 

Registration forms are available at Jefferson Community Health and Life, the Jefferson County Extension service, and the Fairbury Public Library. 

Safety Day is not just for “farm kids,” organizers said. The day is designed to provide safety information that includes both general safety and farm safety. The day is offered for children who are entering kindergarten through 7th grade in the fall. 

Through hands-on activities, participants will learn to prevent incidents and reduce the extent of injuries if incidents do occur. Safety Day stresses the importance of children taking responsibility for their own safety, respecting parents’ safety rules, and sharing safety tips with their friends and family. 

Progressive Agriculture Safety Day is organized by Jefferson County Farm Safety 4 Just Kids and is made possible by The Progressive Agriculture Foundation. 

The day’s events begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 2:15 p.m. The cost is $6 per child or $12 per family. The price will increase to $10 per child after July 23. Walk-ins are accepted on the day of the event. 

Donations are accepted and anyone who needs more information can call the Nebraska Extension office in Jefferson County at (402) 729-3487, or Coordinator Lana Likens at JCH&L at (402) 729-6855.
