Third Party Event: Baptist Health Hardin Community Health and Wellness Department: Overdose Simulation and Awareness
2024-11-07
Baptist Health Hardin Community Health and Wellness Department: Overdose Simulation and Awareness
This program will follow the same format as the simulation that was presented to more than 7,000 local high students last school year. Attendees will observe the severe stress of a mother finding her adolescent child after a drug overdose. Emergency Medical Service staff respond and present the child to healthcare providers at Baptist Health Hardin. Local Police officers simulate their role in supporting the mother in her distress. A panel of local professionals who work with overdose victims and families share statistics, overdose prevention, harm reduction, and other educational resources for families and community members. The panel information provided in this simulation will differ slightly from the panel provided to local high school teens, as this event is geared towards parental and community awareness.
Run Time: Approx 50 minutes
Rated G: The program’s content is designed for individuals 18 years and older. Children and teens under 18 should not attend this performance.

Third Party Event: St. James Catholic School - "Sheep in Heavenly Peace"
2024-12-11
St. James Catholic School – “Sheep in Heavenly Peace”
It’s a zoo out here! Bethlehem’s homes and inns may be bursting at the seams with travelers for the census, but because of the animals they brought with them, the stable is simply out of control. Camels, donkeys and goats up to the rafters! Even the normally-sleepy hillsides are now teeming with an abundance of sheep, and Bethlehem’s top temp agency must call on their most eager but often-inept family of workers, the Wooltons to step up and answer the call (temporary “staffing” takes on a whole new meaning!). What they expect to be an unglamorous assignment will soon put them face to face with the angel Gabriel, a sky-full of the Heavenly Host, and ultimately the Good Shepherd himself – Jesus! Join us for this exciting Christmas musical performed by St. James Catholic School’s 3rd and 4th grade students!
