We had a great Oppor Day

Everything went very well at our 3rd annual Oppor Days and Fun Run. We didn't have the crowd we had last year but there was a lot of things going on that day in the area. We still didn't have much support from our community, in fact, not one of the volunteer firemen showed up. I guess we will have to do something different that appeals to our community. Its sad because it was a time when all local people had a chance to go have some fun and socialize with their neighbors. We had lots of things for the kids to do re: 3 jumping house, a water slide, a slip and slide with surf boards, face painting and various other things. The Race Track Fire Dept brought over their smoke house and showed the kids what to do if there is a fire in their homes, and things to watch for that could start a fire in their home. We had so many gifts to give away at the picnic that it took most of the day to draw tickets. Most everyone won something. There where some really great prizes which included local artists prints, DVD players, a ride on the Copper Express, meal tickets etc etc. We also had some really awsum food. There was BBQ'd prok chop sandwichs, corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, Beer and Pepsi products. If you didn't make it to the party, then you really missed a good one. Here are a few pictures from the event. I was in charge of the Poker Run so I missed a lot of the kids stuff. We even had a couple of Canadian Geese fly in to enjoy the party.

George whats up with slamming the fire department lately. If I remeber right there were a couple of fireman that showed up. They didn't stay long but there were there.

I HAVE NEVER slammed the fire dept, just some of the things that a certain individual thinks she can do just because she is a firewoman. The fire dept is great, I have no problem with them what so ever. I don't know how many times I need to say that.. I guess some people can't see past their noses or hear past their mouths...
