FIREFIGHTERS NIGHT OUT

 

January 19th- After nearly a year of planning since the last night out in February 2007, a gang of firefighters and their families headed back to Altoona for a night out. This time the gang went to Jethro's for a meal, story telling and a lot of fun. The group consisted of firefighters from Shade Gap, Three Springs, and Robertsdale, Wood, and Broad Top Fire Companies, and their families. Since last years trip to the Olive Garden included an early birthday for Shade Gap Deputy Chief Davey McMullen, this year he was able to get some revenge and the group celebrated an early birthday for Three Springs Fire Chief Dave Grace, although he didn't get a song and dance from the waiters like he should have. The group had a great time and even got "kicked out" of the restaurant, actually we were asked nicely to leave because they had to prepare for another group that was coming in. Overall the evening was a lot of fun for everyone and the plan is to have another one in either April or May. Hopefully, we'll be able to get some pictures on here in the near future of the gang.
