The Firemen's Spaghetti dinner was another sellout event with 400 people being served. This event draws a great crowd every year just to honor our local Fire Department and the wonderful service they provide to Palm Creek. I joked with them a bit about how often they respond to our park.
They have a very talented bagpipe player who leads off the evening.
They sell raffle tickets for some nice prizes plus a 50-50 raffle. Many residents buy tickets as another way to support the department. The 50-50 drawing is a huge success with the final tally being $2000. One lucky winner wins half of that amount. That lucky winner this year was Joan Kaiser and she graciously donated her winnings back to the Fire Department. That was a wonderful generous gesture on her part. Three cheers for Joan.
They have a cute event where one of our residents competes against a young recruit to see who can don their rapid response equipment the fastest. Guess who wins. 😉
Hats off to Chef and crew!! Our meals were served as fast as possible to such a huge crowd and the spaghetti was the best ever served at this event. Yum!!
