The Point will be bustling this weekend, with garage sales everywhere and a solid roster of events at the community center.

Students and staff from the Point Roberts Primary School with magnetic signs created from their art that will adorn fire equipment this summer. 

Since 2013 the local fire department has visited the school for fire safety month in October with different safety messages: how to create a home safety plan, the importance of working smoke detectors and what to do in case of fire. 

"I want the kids to be involved and that's why I ask them to draw what that safety would be for them," said fire chief Christopher Carleton.

Fifteen students drew their version of fire safety last fall, and this spring the fire department transfered those images to magnetic signs. All 15 will find a place on one of the department's vehicles. "They'll stay on the rigs until the end of the summer and then we'll go back to the kids and ask them to draw us another," Carleton said.

The Presidential Primary Election Day is next Tuesday, May 24.  Mailed ballots must have a postmark no later than May 24, or ballots may be deposited postage-free in one of the 14 official ballot drop boxes located throughout the county by 8 p.m. on election evening.
