Chainsaw Safety Classes – Windstorm Cleanup Assistance

Are you a Northern Lake County Landowner and still cleaning up from the July windstorm?

Two chainsaw safety classes will be presented at the Fall Lake town hall on Labor Day weekend. Choose Fri, Sept. 2 (6-8pm) or Sat, Sept. 3 (8-10 am).

Outdoor practice is offered Sat. (10am- noon) at the gravel pit behind the hall.

Classes are free and presented by Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR), who provide volunteer labor to low income, elderly, disabled or veterans in crisis. Classes are presented by Larry Reedy, SBDR Coordinator for northern MN, and the MN SBDR lead chainsaw trainer, Tom Bickford.
