🤩 Whoot! Whoot! 🤩

🎅🏻 Santa’s sleigh and reindeer required a trailer of their own, so once again, we are in awe of the businesses who quickly responded to our plea to make this happen! 🎅🏻

🎩 Hat’s off to Ironhorse, Hess Construction, Horrell Property Management, Buena Vista, Zanders’ Sporting Goods, Jenkins’ Rental, and Red Bud FFA. Their generous donations enabled us to purchase and paint this beautiful, shiny ‘Santa Red’ trailer! 🎩

👨‍🚒 See you at the Firemen’s Parade on June 28th! 👨‍🚒
