Our yearly Candle Lighters ride was a great success and the
biggest yet. We had a total of 27
drivers, ~150 people from the Candle Lighters and 20 other volunteers to help
make rides, food, games, sledding all a great big huge day of fun. With the 27 drivers they turned in over 1300 miles driving for all the rides given for the day with the most
driven by Randy with 74 and the least by TJ with 1. I want to thank the crew on Friday that did a
lot of work setting up the warming shelter with all the tables and Valentine’s
decorations to have it ready for Saturday.To the volunteer crew on Saturday that worked the games and the tables
in the shelter, Clinton for cooking all the hotdogs, for the people directing
traffic for the rides and our Deputies and Forest Service friends for taking
time from their families to help with this extended family. I know the kids loved seeing Smoky the Bear
and Woodsy the Owl for the first time this year and we had enough snow to
actually hold the event where last year it was cancelled. Check all the names below and the great
business and folks that donated products and money to make this the largest
snow day ever.
