😂❄️ Snow Day Parents… We REALLY Heard You! ❄️😂
You asked. You pleaded. You begged us to give your kids something—anything—to do on a snow day that doesn’t involve screens, intense snack negotiations, or turning the living room into a WWE ring. hanoverpublicschools are closed, so we had to do something!
So here it is… 🚒🔥
The Hanover Fire Department Hydrant Challenge!
📚 Who: Elementary & Middle School aged Hanover residents.
📅 When: Monday, January 26. Stay inside today, let the Town of Hanover, MA DPW plows do their work!
🧤 What: Shovel out a hydrant (3’ around), snap a photo with the shoveler in it, post the photo and street/location in the comments of this post, then repeat by replying to your first comment.
🏆 PRIZES!
The Top 3 hydrant heroes will win gift cards thanks to our amazing community partners:
🎉 ryanfamilyamusement

And don’t worry about running out of work — we’ve got over 1,200 fire hydrants in town, so there are plenty to go around! 💪❄️

Let’s clear some hydrants and turn this snow day into a community win! 🚒❄️💙
