Fire Safety Field Day Epic Day of Service project- May 17th
Our second Fire Safety Field Day was a huge success with almost 400 attendees, 20 vendors/sponsors and 34 volunteers. Participants had multiple opportunities to experience how fire fighters, law enforcement and emergency medical professionals do their life-saving work. And there was loads of activities like Race the Fire Fighters and Dress like a Fire Fighter as well as a sponsor Bingo, all of which added to the excitement and fun. Thanks to Hugh Radke, Gary Frisch, Darryl Harvey and Betsy Hansen for volunteering to work this event and a special thank-you to Linda Forsythe who stepped up to chair the event this year. Also, thanks to the Aurora Rotary Club for the great collaboration we had partnering with them for this event.
