Firemen’s Ball packs Tofield Community Hall
This past Saturday, Nov. 9 the Tofield Community Hall had a festive look as members from Tofield and area gathered together to celebrate and honour our firefighters.
It was the much-awaited Tofield Fire Department Firemen’s Ball, which happens once in three years, and the Tofield Fire Department Society hosting it had gone the distance.
“We wanted it to be special for our firefighters, but also raise funds for the many equipment upgrades and training facilities that require our support throughout the year,” said Dan Hillyer, president of the Society. “All the compensation and any remuneration given to us as firefighters are collected in a Society pool, which takes care of all the boots, gloves, wildfire helmets, and anything our firemen might need in our day-to-day operations.”
The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Lucas Banack, while Camrose-based caterers A1 took care of the meal and the entertainment was a Sherwood Park-based band, The Boom Boom Kings.
There was a silent auction as well throughout the evening. . . . contd.
