This past weekend (Saturday) Applebees Restaurant held a pancake breakfast from 8:00 am until 10:00am. Almost 200 people attended the event, including Police Chief Dan Carlson, and 100% of the proceeds were donated to the Fire Department, about $1000.00.
Applebees came up with this idea and approached us for support. We provided a crew of firefighters to assist with serving, but mostly to be there answering questions about our fire department and to give mini-tours of the truck that was brought to the event.
Everything went well and Applebees wants to continue with the event next year. Thank you to Applebees for their generosity. It is great to have the support of local businesses like Applebees.
