The Big Canoe Volunteer Fire Department sponsored their first “Black and Blue and Tennis Shoe Casino Night”, at The Clubhouse, At Lake Sconti on Friday, November the 6th. The objective for this event was to fund the purchase of a “Gator”…an off-road vehicle helpful in fighting hard-to-reach forest fires and assists in difficult search and rescue missions.
The dress code for this Big Canoe event was Tuxedo jackets and jeans for the men, dressy sequined tops and jeans for the women. And of course tennis shoes for everyone.
A tremendous time was had by all, playing blackjack, poker, craps, and roulette. Professional dealers gave lessons to those who may have needed help spending their play money. You didn’t think we’d let you use real money did you? That’d be gambling.
As residents of Big Canoe we should be most proud of our Volunteer Fire Department. They are truly a group of men and women dedicated to serving our community. Tom and Kelly Beechler on behalf of Century 21 Best Mountain Properties and its Agent Partners were proud to support this great cause. We challenge all of our home owners/businesses to support this great cause now and in the future.
Because of the support given by those residents/friends and local businesses, we are most pleased to have heard that enough money was raised to buy the “Gator”. Let’s continue to “Help our Firefighters Help You”!
