Severe Summer Weather Awareness Coloring Contest
It’s almost SUMMER! There is so much fun to be had! There is also the need to prepare: how can we be safe in the severe weather that summer can throw our way? That’s why April 22-26 is the North Dakota Severe Summer Weather Awareness week.
To have some fun as we spread awareness we are pleased to host a coloring contest for all ages. All ages are invited to participate by coloring and sending in one of the coloring sheets or your best tornado ‘watch vs warning’ meme. Prizes include things to keep on hand during severe weather events.
