In the wake of the recent wildfires, every rain shower feels like a blessing, especially to first responders— even when it rains while grateful citizens try to feed them! The Pierce County Exchange Club recently expressed their gratitude for all our local first responders do to protect the life and property of Pierce citizens with a meal served in Blackshear City Park. The Thursday event set up underneath tents and the bandstand of the city park to serve hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, cookies and drinks to police, firefighters and EMTs. Seen above are a mix of Exchange Club members, supporters and first responders seeing off the last eight meals to be distributed. They are (l-r) Pierce County Fire Chief Chris Todd, Aaron Moore, Pierce IDBA Director Blake James, Stephen James, Rene Choate, Nick Roberson, Eve Hazen, Neal Murphy, Stacy Thrift, Guy Lee Washington, Dan Hazen, Charles Jury, Ruben Mulkey and Evan James.
