Bring the kids and enjoy breakfast with the Firefighters! The Redmond Fire Department is again hosting a free pancake breakfast for the community (donations will be accepted) during the Derby Days festival.
Enjoy an all-you-can-eat breakfast on July, 9 from 8am to noon at Redmond Fire Station 11, 8450 161st Avenue NE. Breakfast will be served by the Firefighters and consist of pancakes, sausage, eggs, orange juice and coffee.
“This breakfast is a great way for residents to get to know their local firefighters and help out those in need,” notes firefighter Paul Richards, one of the organizers of this year’s event. “The kid’s always have a great time exploring the fire trucks and having a picture taken in a real firefighter’s helmet and jacket.”
New this year is a silent auction, proceeds of which also go to the Redmond Fire Department’s Benevolent Fund. The auction has over 90 items ranging from a 3 night stay at a Wyndham resort anywhere in the world, a whale watching tour and golf at Bear Creek Country Club to Husky football tickets, Nintendo Wii, dinners, massages, wine and much more.
The Redmond Fire Department’s Benevolent Fund benefits people in the local community, especially those facing personal tragedy. All donations from the breakfast and proceeds from the auction go towards this fund.
Parking is available in the City Hall parking garage, three blocks northwest of the station.
Aside from the breakfast and silent auction, children tour the department’s various fire apparatus, try their hand at squirting water on a mock fire and pose for photos in authentic fire gear.
