High Park Fire Firefighters' Festival is Today! July 21, 2012

High Park Fire- Firefighters Festival Fundraiser is Today!  July 21, 2012

Please come out to the Firefighters’ Festival Fundraiser today at the Livermore Community Hall*

-          Free Wings and barbeque- Souza Smokin BBQ, Jim Wings and Babettes Feast Catering and Bakery

-          Free Performances by local bands including: the Roger Shea Band with Kenny Cordova, guest vocalist and the John Mills Orchestra

-          Silent Auction

The food and entertainment are free- however donations are being accepted and all proceeds from the event will benefit our Volunteer Fire Departments.

 

You would not even believe the various items available for the Silent Auction!

The Firefighters’ Festival Fundraiser will help the Livermore, Glacier View and Red Feather Volunteer Fire Departments replenish their funds that were severely diminished while fighting the High Park Fire.

These volunteer fire departments run on small annual budgets – the High Park Fire tripled the annual budget for Glacier View Meadows VFD, doubled the cost for Livermore VFD and used up an entire year for the Red Feather Lakes VFD, according to an article in the Reporter Herald.

The Festival will be a lot of fun for everyone!  So, if you’re looking for something fun to do today, please come up to Livermore and join in the fun.  The festival runs from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. this evening.

We are so grateful for our firefighters!

 

*         To reach the Livermore Community Hall, from Fort Collins, go North on Highway 287, continue North approximately 11 miles past Ted’s Place (Poudre Canyon Rd.)  turn left on County Rd. 74E ( at the Forks) - go west to the Livermore Community Hall on the north side of the Road.

You will see a bunch of signs like the one above on the fence thanking our firefighters- this is the community hall.

Hi Mary - That's a great event and I wish Mary & I could make it. The firefighters did truly amazing work, took incredible risks, and made a huge difference to so many people in fighting this fire - and they really need our support now.

I hope there are many big donations.  It's such a hard and important and underpaid career path.

What a great way to bring the communities together to show support for your local firefighters. It takes such courage and commitment to be a firefighter; it's not a job most of us could undertake. I hope the High Park Fire Firefighters Festival was a whopping success yesterday.

I am looking forward to meeting you in Nederland today. This is a special treat for me. :)

Thank you everyone for taking your time to comment- I was working and didn't get home until after 6:00..it was a long day!  I missed the whole thing.  I too hope they had a great turnout and I was sorry to have missed the fun, so  I'll be sending my donation in the mail.  We have other opportunities in the area coming up too- an event a Beaver Meadows will support our firefighters and another event at The Ranch in Loveland to help the High Park Fire Victims, so I'll be posting about those too!
