South Dakota Here I Come

In the morning, Captain Wines and I fly out to South Dakota for a State tour ending at the South Dakota Firefighters Benefit. If you are anywhere in the area, plan on attending this event! I will be filling you in along the way, but here are the highlights:

• We will be meeting Bob Gard and Adam Frick who planned the SD FF Benefit.
• We will be meeting Shane Parkins of the National Firefighters Endowment for the first time.
• It will be my first time in South Dakota, or anywhere in Europe for that matter.
• We will be touring the State in a brand new Spartan ERV fire engine.
• We will be visiting dozens of firehouses across the State of South Dakota
• We will see Mt. Rushmore among other landmarks

I need to thank the following for making our trip and the South Dakota Firefighters Benefit a possibility:

Spartan ERV…I will have plenty more on them in the coming days. We will also be touring their factory.

Ride Backwards…Willie and I will be decked out in their apparel while we travel.
