Rainbow Valley's first Firefighter Appreciation Day was a HUGE success. Special thanks to the Citizen's Organization for sponsoring such a wonderful community event. Lot's of great food, games and prizes for the kids and just good old fashioned community spirit. Check out the slide show below!
We also had great participation cleaning up the roads with families and neighbors cleaning up Tuthill, Rainbow Valley Rd, Elliot, Ray Rd, Arlington Rd and Rainbow Trail. Wow, what an impact we had on cleaning up our community. Stay tuned for a total count of how many bags were collected. Special thanks to Sharon's Pet Sitting for adopting and cleaning Elliot Rd from Airport to Tuthill. Great to have you on board.

While a booming fireworks display maybe the perfect culmination to Fourth of July festivities, we want to remind people
that many pets are frightened by such activities.
Pets are family members, and most people include them in their holiday plans, but on a holiday full of activities like our nations’ birthday, most pets will be more comfortable at home with their normal everyday routines. So on this Fourth of July, spare your pets the stress of fireworks and crowds and ensure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday.”Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects—even death—in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.
Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed.
Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company while you're attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.
If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly.
Leave your pet at home. Fireworks displays can be disorienting and frightening to pets, even those who are well socialized.
Create a quiet, in-home sanctuary for your pet. Leaving your pet in an area of your home that is sheltered from outside noise and lights will provide a comfortable, low-stress environment.
Never leave pets outside and unattended. Even in a fenced-in yard, panic can lead a pet to escape or become injured trying to seek refuge.
