Saturday July 16th, 2011 - Bison Burger BBQ - Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department - 61st Annual Fundraiser and Community Appreciation Day

Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department 61st Annual Fundraiser and Community Appreciation Day
is  the Bison Burger BBQ on Saturday, July 16th, 2011 from 12 Noon to 7 pm

the BBQ will be at the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department Hall
located on Highway 209 at Ferndale Drive (at blinking traffic light)

An old-fashioned fun community BBQ with grilled bison burgers, baked beans, potato salad, watermelon, cake and huckleberry ice cream, complete with Fire truck rides and a Silent Auction.
Costis :  $8 Adults        $4 Kids (10 years and under)

Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department had been responding to fire, rescue and medical emergencies since 1950.   They  hold one fundraiser each year – a Bison Burger BBQ where you can enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the Ferndale Volunteer firefighters.

It is the time to show your appreciation by supporting our first emergency responders by attending this 61st annual fundraiser on Saturday, July 16th, 2011 for the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department.

Last year, the fire fighters served over 700 grilled bison burgers!
The volunteers say that each bison burger they sell makes a difference every day. When you buy a bison burger, it helps pay for the equipment they need so that they can quickly and safely respond when we need them the most.

This year, the money raised at the BBQ will go towards purchasing a standby generator to power the Ferndale Fire Hall during electrical outages just like the power outage we experienced on July 7th, 2011.

Thoughts of Summer - Be a Stellar Wedding Guest

It’s wedding season and Love is in the air!  I just received a lovely invitation to my nieces wedding in 6 weeks! What hints do you have for me so that I can be a “stellar” wedding guest?


Your RSVP:
Please, Please, Please RSVP by the date requested on your nieces invitation. Remember the person paying for the food needs an accurate count of everyone attending the wedding to plan for enough food for their hungry guests.

Your GIFT:
Be a great gift giver. Pick out a thoughtful card, write something personal inside. Buy from the couple’s wedding gift registry or write them a check. Base your gift on how close you are to the couple, whether you are attending with a guest (multiple gift by two) and how much you can afford. Send the gift to the couple before the wedding – please do not bring the gift to the wedding.


Your OUTFIT:
Ladies do not wear white or cream to a wedding. If the event is a black tie affair respect the couple’s wishes. Men should wear a tuxedo and ladies a party/evening dress.

The Meet and Greet:
Be sure to talk to the bride and the groom, and to the bride and the groom’s families. A wedding is a big occasion for the entire family. Take a minute to offer your congratulations even if you have never met the family members. Even a simple thank you for having you is much appreciated. Keep your conversation proportionately to how well you know the person you are talking to.


The Food:
You are there to mingle and celebrate! Your plate represents the cost of your attendance so be a gracious guest and eat everything on your plate.



The Toast:
Please make sure you know the bride’s name. Be the BEST man not the long-winded man. Keep it short with a mix of sincerity and a few jokes. Raunchy stories are for the bachelor party not for the wedding toast.

The Open Bar:
Drink responsibly. Drink and be merry but don’t embarrass yourself or cause a scene that detracts from the bride and groom. If you are with “that” kind person please escort them directly to their bed to sleep it off.

The Reception:
If there is a band or DJ you need to dance at least once or twice it’s the right thing to do. If you do not like to dance or are a very bad dancer please at least socialize, request an appropriate song, and clap after each dance.

The Cake Cutting:
Popular tradition of cutting the cake signals the time when guests can politely leave for whatever reason. i.e. they are tired, have small children at home, are eight months pregnant, are elderly, have to get up very early to catch their flight back home, are grumpy, etc.

Remember if you are one of those people who are thinking about leaving right after the cake cutting think about what you will miss…the First Dance followed right after the groom's heartfelt thank you, you don’t want to miss that or the Father Daughter dance, the Mother Son song, the DJ playing just the right song to open up the dance floor for everyone to dance, the bouquet and garter toss, the special surprise the bride has planned for the groom and the send off for the bride and groom a magical ending for a perfect wedding night with bubbles and sparklers.

Thoughts of Summer - Wedding Favors -Truffles Tuffles Truffles

My all time favorite wedding favor for each of the wedding guests is Truffles! 
Who doesn't LOVE chocolate?



Buy cellophane bags or Chinese food-style take out containers in bulk, and them fill with truffles and tie up with ribbons that match your decor.   Or use a small votive candleholder with a ribbon tied around it to put your truffles in.  Place the truffle gifts at each place setting for your guest to enjoy.


Making your own truffles is an easy and delicious solution to providing your guests with a tasty wedding favor that they are sure to love, especially when you can vary the truffle flavors and toppings.

You'll have lots of fun creating the perfect truffle combinations to share with your guests.
An added bonus your friends and family they can help you judge their favorite truffles!

If you like you can also turn your truffle making into a pre-wedding bridal party....fun!

This easy truffle recipe is oh so rich and delicious!

The recipe makes a large amount but you can vary the flavors and coatings to make several different kinds of truffles.
