Public Safety Open House

The annual Standish Public Safety Open House will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Standish Municipal Building located at 175 Northeast Road. Since its inception in the fall of 2000, the Public Safety Committee works alongside the Standish Fire/EMS Department in putting together a fun-filled day of activities for the family that promote and heighten awareness and educate the public so that we can make better informed decisions when it comes to the safety of our loved ones.

There will also be an American Red Cross blood drive taking place at the same location from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Be sure to bring your ID and try to drink plenty of fluids that day if you intend to give blood.
