Shake Out Fair — Sat Sept 26th

Posted on September 14, 2026 by OMNVA

September 26 is the Emergency Preparedness Fair at Fairmont Park, comer of Fairmont Avenue and Bush Street, from 10 to noon. Even if you’ve been to one of these before, it’s worth stopping by. There will be activities for kids and an icy treat.
They’ll have demonstration tables showing useful gear to keep on hand. You’ll see examples of a Go Bag and Stay Box – what to pack if you have to leave fast versus what to have ready if you need to shelter in place. There’s also solid info on water and food storage, including how much you need and how long it lasts. You can join in and practice the classic “drop, cover, hold” earthquake drill too.

Earthquake Drills & Raffle

Stay for the raffle. One practical prize is a portable toilet. After a big earthquake, toilets stop working. Having a simple backup is something most people never think about until they need it.
If you can’t make it to the fair, you can still run your own emergency drill at home. Check out www. shakeout.org/centralus/dropcoverholdon
The fair is a good reminder that preparedness doesn’t have to be complicated. A few basic systems and a little practice go further than most people expect.•

We Love Rocky Road – Ice Cream Social 2026

Posted on August 24, 2026 by OMNVA

What is an ideal ice cream social you ask?

I would say… not too hot, not too cold. Never run out of ice cream and toppings for miles!

Absolutely delightful music and firemen too.

The Old MV ice cream social always has a little something extra. We had lawn games, creativity areas, loads of interesting exhibitors, (see below for a list), Baskin Robbins ice cream, toppings courtesy of Landels PTA and music by a neighborhood band – The Splitz.

Thank you volunteers and neighbors for showing up. It all added up to hoards of neighbors with ice cream dripping down their smiling faces.

If you would like to help design, implement or volunteer at future events, please contact the Eventors social@omvna.org. Events happen because at least 1 person has a passion to make it so!

Building community engagement, one event at a time.
