Well the picnic kept me busy this week/weekend. Had a blast.. Or a big wind storm that blew our tent setup for our bingo stand, half way off… As you see below.

For starters, Friday night, we have everything setup for the picnic ready to play some bingo, until mother nature came about with 65+ mph winds, and blew our tent off around 4:30pm (Bingo starts at 7pm). Shortly after that we had a call for a power line down in front of Amoco. We respond to that while our tent was still half way off. We was on scene for about 20 minutes then get called out to matual aid call for Grantfork, field fire. We got out there and we got the fire out, and in the mean time we got our brush truck stuck.. While getting it unstuck, I got covered in mud. Got back to town, no time to clean up. Started bingo. Come to find out our communitee came up and helped put the tent back to normal while all the fire fighters was out on calls. Very nice of the communitee to come up and help out. Friday night ended up being a good night after that short storm came through.

Saturday started out about the same way, however no calls after the storms. We got the tent setup back to normal. I tell you though, we all was joking around while holding the tent down from the storm. We thought we was in Deadilest Catch. Wind blowing pulling us off the ground while holding on the tent. It was a very intense moment, but I think very fun. It ended up raining delaying the parade. But after the parade, the rain quite and people started showing up to enjoy the picnic we put on. It ended up being a good night!

Here is Loni calling a game of bingo. I called bingo all night, but I let Loni, and Matt call a game.
