Firefighters Host NYE Bash
The Richer Firefighters hosted their annual New Year’s Eve Social at the Richer Young at Heart Hall. In what is now becoming a tradition, guests had the opportunity to purchase whipping cream pies and invites the firefighter of their choice up to a target and let him have it… all in the name of raising money for local non-profit groups. Last year, firefighter Rob Desaultel approached Dan Guetre (Dawson Trail Dispatch) with the idea, and after a temporary display was made, hundreds of dollars was raised. This year, Guetre designed and purchased a more permanent display and donated it to the fire department. “Ok, who doesn’t want to see a fireman get pied!” says Guetre about the investment. “Some of the firefighters like to think out of the box and when it raises money for charity, we need to support them. They risk their lives, give a lot of their time to the community and are willing to do this? I say bravo!”
