Rodeo Association Donation

I would like to thank the Rodeo Association and volunteer Fire fighters for all their great work. The Rodeo Association raises hundreds of thousands of dollars through thousands of hours of volunteer work for equipment, structures and training of fire fighter personnel. Tom Pagel of the Rodeo Association presented the Fire Board with a check for $60,000 to help pay for Fire Station 3 on July 10th.

This personifies the Isanti spirit of hard work and giving that makes our community strong. We should not forget the net result of all the giving by the Rodeo Association and the hard work of the Volunteer Fire Fighters. The training, that just this weekend, saved a man from the river with several severe injuries. By using proper technique and equipment they prevented paralysis and even possible death.

The dollars raised by the Rodeo Association helps keep every one of us safe. While having fun at the Rodeo this weekend we should thank the hard working Fire Fighters that make it all possible.
