Funds for firemen

The Fourth Annual Memorial Day Weekend auction and firemen's ball was a great success, raising a lot of money for the construction of a new fire station for the island. The event featured a silent auction:





and a barbecue dinner:





...with beer. Appropriately, it was "Hook and Ladder" beer...and the kegs certainly fit the theme of the evening, too.





and a live auction:






and a dance. (I didn't stay for the dance, so I don't have any pictures of it.)

I am not sure how much was raised in total, but I do know that the live auction alone raised over $15,000. Money which will be put to good use protecting the community.
