Pink Firetrucks!

Have you ever???

This evening the THFD hosted a Pink Firetruck event to raise money for various breast cancer charities. When Cary heard that the combination of FIRE TRUCKS and breast cancer awareness were combined, he knew that Lynn & McKinley HAD to be there! So, we headed to the event and were definitely taken aback when we spotted the PEPTO-PINK Firetrucks from far away.

WOW!

McKinley had a blast checking out each truck, even red and yellow trucks from the local fire departments were there as well! It was so interesting to see the pink trucks, which were decorated with thousands and thousands of signatures of people who had visited the truck, dedicating their visit to a the memory of a loved one, or in honor of someone who was battling the disease.

My only complaint was that the 'pink' firemen weren't exactly forthcoming with information. Matter of fact, not one of them uttered a word to us. I would have liked knowing more about the trucks. I did figure out on my own that two of the trucks were named for two particular women who lost their battles against breast cancer. That gave me goosebumps. Otherwise, I know very little of the trucks, only that they were really, really...PINK!

Fun little outing for a good cause!
