After two years of being shutdown to the public, the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting in West Chester opened its doors to the public for a few weekend tours in late 2011.

Safety Fair at Bridgewater Falls- Helicopter landings, a fire safety house for children and a robot used by the bomb squad are just a few of the attractions offered at this Saturday’s Safety Fair at the Bridgewater Falls shopping complex in Fairfield Township. For the seventh year this is a free event for the community, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tour the National VOA Museum – With the recent completion of some significant construction work, the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting re-opened for tours in July and will provide another opportunity for the public to tour the West Chester landmark this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. Those unfamiliar with the museum will be surprised to learn how much history is in West Chester.

The Cone, located at 6855 Tylersville Road in West Chester, will be donating a portion of its sales between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. this Tuesday, March 31, to the 3 Little Halos fund.

The 3 little Halos fund has been established to support organizations and programs dedicated to promote fire safety, prevention and awareness, as well as other household safety practices.

This fund has been created in memory of Aubrey, Alex and Braden Butler (photo) who passed away in November of 2007 as a result of a fire in their West Chester home. The children’s legacy will continue by assisting organizations that work to ensure a safe environment for children and their families.

Currently, 3 Little Halos is raising funds to build a Safety Town. The town is a small scale city for young children, which is designed to teach all aspects of traffic safety, as well as, fire, water, weather and many other safety concerns for children.

If you would like to make a donation, make check payable to 3 little Halos fund, or visit the Community Foundation of West Chester/Liberty website at www.wclfoundation.com.
