Waterfowl enthusiasts flock to Westlake

Waterfowl artists, carvers, and collectors will gather in Westlake, at the Holiday Inn West 1100 Crocker Rd.  March 13-16, for the 31st Waterfowl Art Exposition presented by the Ohio Decoy Collectors and Carvers Association.
The exposition is one of the largest gatherings of decoy carvers in the United States and will have a variety of wildlife art on display for the general public.
Many of the bird carvings will be judged in categories ranging from contemporary hunting decoys, antique birds, and decorative bird creations ranging from songbirds to raptors. Rarely will so many excellent carvings, both contemporary and antique, be gathered in one place.
This will be the 31st year for the exhibition, one of the largest events of its kind in the nation. Wildlife artists, collectors, and decoy carvers attend this annual event to exhibit their work and vendors will be on hand to provide carving and artist tools and supplies.

Reminder from Eagle Joint Fire District

The Eagle Joint Fire District reminds the citizens of Hubbard to: CHANGE CLOCKS / CHECK YOUR DETECTOR .Hopefully everyone moved their clocks forward this past weekend. One important thing that maybe you forgot was to CHANGE the battery in your smoke detector. It has been recommended recently that people CANNOT hear the audible signal/alarm on the detector which is usually placed in hallways between bedrooms where we sleep. UL (Underwriters Laboratories) recently did several studies and strongly recommend placing a detector in EACH room you sleep. The NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) has also suggested this change. The cost is minimal next to your loved ones. It is also advisable to Change or replace your detector after 10 years. Eagle Joint Fire District PR & Safety cares about your safety.
