New Station the Result of Hard Work
Congratulations to the Blaine Volunteer Fire Department on their new station. This is an amazing project - check it out (from WBIR.com):
The $80,000 Blaine Volunteer Fire Station Number 2 was paid for and built by the people who live there. There were no grants, no government help, just gifts of time and money."Completely fundraisers and donations," says Indian Ridge Resident Shirley Irwin. They had bake sales, fish fries, spaghetti suppers, turkey shoots, and yard sales. It all added up.
"Once you pull together, you can do anything," said Irwin's son Dewayne, who helped head up the fundraising and building efforts.
It's remarkable that they did this without any grants of government assistance. Good for them. Job well done.
