Students learn and practice basic first aid\, CPR skills\, and how to help a choking infant and child. \n  \n“The course also emphasizes responsibility\, professionalism and communication with families\, which are valuable life skills that extend beyond babysitting\,” said Johnson. \n  \nSafe Sitter is free to attend\, but registration is required as seats are limited. Space is limited and we do expect this class to be full. Sign up for Safe Sitter by visiting coppershores.org. Registration closes on Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Jibba Jabba Downtown Houghton
DESCRIPTION:This weekend\, downtown Houghton transforms into a street-style snowboarding arena as Jibba Jabba returns with visiting riders\, regional vendors\, and an electric atmosphere that signals peak winter in the Keweenaw. Friday night features a qualifier to allow more entries into Saturday’s invite-only\, professional-grade urban snowboard competition. \n  \nRiders to Watch: \nCharlie “Chuck Wagon” Vandemark (@_chuckwagon_) is a Houghton local and Mont Ripley rider known for smooth style and technical rail work. A respected name in the local snowboard scene\, he brings hometown energy and creativity to the event. Last year\, he won one of the Best Stomps of the night from Red Bull. \n\nGarrett “Juiccy Jokerr” McKenzie (@juiccyjokerr) is a standout street-style rider known for creative tricks and a strong social following. With a style that translates perfectly to fast-paced\, rider-driven features\, he’s one to keep an eye on during Jibba Jabba. \n  \nErin Alexander (@steezbarb) is a dynamic snowboarder with a growing presence in the snowboarding community\, known for creative riding and standout video content on social media. She’s regularly featured in rail jams and community events across the East Coast and brings both style and energy to this weekend’s competition. \n\nWhat to Expect: \nThe action begins on Friday with the qualifier session just after 4 p.m.\, where 40 riders will be split into two groups to maintain a fast pace and high energy from the start. New this year\, participants will complete an online waiver prior to arrival\, helping streamline check-in and maximize time on the course.
