Potter County Sheriff Joins Special Kids Event at Home Depot

We have two Home Depots in Amarillo, and if you haven't been taking your kids to their monthly workshops, you are missing out. The first Saturday of every month, they have a project for the family to work on.

What are Home Depot Kids Workshops?

These projects are not like the honey-do lists you usually have at home. No, these are fun projects. The kids head home with a fun toy after the work is put in. These workshops are free, but you do need to sign up for them.

Details on Amarillo’s September 6 Event

They happen the first Saturday of every month, and the next one is happening on September 6, where you will work on a fun crop-duster airplane. These events will be happening at both Home Depot locations in Amarillo.

Potter County Sheriff Adds a Safety Feature

This next month, though, the Soncy Home Depot location, 2500 Soncy Rd, is adding a little bit more. They are making it even more special by bringing the Potter County Sheriff's Office to take part in the fun:

The Home Depot at 2500 Soncy Rd is offering a Law Enforcement Kids Workshop on Saturday, September 6th from 9-12. Sgt McKinney will be on site as well providing ID cards for children under the age of 18 (unless you have a valid DL/ID). Below is the flier to get your child registered IF you're planning on staying for the Home Depot event. However, you DO NOT need to register if you're just coming for an ID card. We would love to have you!

Why Child ID Cards Are Important

So this is a great time to make sure your kids have an ID card, just in case. Hopefully you will never need it, but it's great to have just in case. I still have a few for my daughter when she was growing up.

Make sure you head home with a crop-duster airplane and an ID card. That will mark a few more things off that honey-do list.
