The Curve
This past Saturday, the Curve held their yearly fund-raiser for our fire dept. A great time.
We did a tug-o-war with them. Very, very hard but we won 2 of 3 and got the trophy again this year.
Yes, once again we are using a fire hose and not a rope. I'm 3rd from the end.
We did fire truck ride for some kids (and parents):
Think of my perspective here. Standing on top of a moving fire truck. Gotta love it.
Here is me down lower (where I should be) and riding along:
I was recruited to help bartend and that was awesome.
With the exception of the fire truck rides (my highest priority), I was tending bar for about 6 hours. I loved it. Pic of me. I'm a dork and did not work my hair after a fire truck ride. Thus the wind blown look.
A pic I took when I had moment:
I was mostly hemmed in all night long. But I did get to talk a lot. We had 4 Appalachian Trail Thru Hikers there. That was awesome.
While I made this about me (it is my blog!), the Curve really gets the credit. They made money for us. Money which we really need to do what we do. They are the best. Over the years, they have made about $130,000 for us or so. I'm not even sure. They rock!!

This looks like such a fun time! Events like these are always a blast. And that looks like the coolest bar. Only bars around here are in TGIF and Applebee restaurants.
Just for the record, I would probably fall off the fire truck if I were in your position. That's just my luck!
looks like it was fun and a successful day, too. :) also, looks like the weather co-operated !!
Sure does look like you had fun. Hey-nothing wrong with the wind blown look-actually like it.
@Keen: I haven't fallen off yet! It's fun climbing about it on. And yes, it is a cool bar.
@greyfox: The weather was perfect! Several times it's been kind of rainy during the event.
@Frogsong: Thanks!
