somerfield: What to pack in an emergency kit - 02/15/10 09:46 PM
A second wave of swine flu could hit this fall, and health experts recommend creating an emergency kit if the outbreak is severe. Of course, it's a good idea to keep a kit for any emergency.
What you need for emergencies:
Food
At least three days' worth of nonperishable, ready-to-eat foods, such as canned goods, dry cereal, and peanut butter.
Water
At least one gallon per person per day for three days. Bottled water is best because it can be stored indefinitely at room temperature, if it remains properly sealed and is kept dry and away from direct sunlight.
First-aid kit

somerfield: Somerfields/Fields of Bradford 9th Annual Halloween Parade - 10/30/08 01:08 AM
Hello All,
Though the weather didnt cooperate with the Parade as it was soooo windy and cold that I was not able to set up the carnival games but the children enjoyed collecting their candy and meeting with the Fire Department (too bad the Police Department didnt show up) the children also had a great time sitting in the Fire Truck and seeing all thier equipment.
See you all next year for the 4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt in either March or April and of course for next years Halloween Parade.
