Our Spirit Squad kicked off its first event together as a team for the summer. The first event that stood in front of us was Firehouse Friday. Taking place at the Brighton Firehouse located on 615 W. Grand River, Brighton, MI 48116. Bright and early the team, including Zackary Nouhan, Olivia Swamba, Elise Lippolis, and Miles Grey, arrived around 6:00 A.M. to set up our tent and brand new Bronco. We had to make sure everything was ready for a day filled with excitement and community involvement.
As the sun started to rise, breakfast was being served by local volunteers that were ever so willing to give back to our first responders. The spread included but not limited to, scrambled eggs, donuts, pancakes, waffles, fruit and so much more outstanding food. You could sense a little excitement in the air as the firefighters started to show their faces and talk to the community. Additionally, W4 Country was there giving out tickets to Faster Horses and tickets to a George Strait concert. Alongside Brighton Ford was giving out a free Interior/Exterior detail to one lucky winner who entered! We love giving back to our communities!
As breakfast was wrapping up, the first responders hopped in the trucks and started to line them up for viewing. Little did we know, they were letting everyone look inside, sit inside the vehicles and even press some fun buttons. You could see the smile from ear to ear on these children as they were in pure heaven. Additionally, the first responders had a few informative lessons up their sleeves to show the importance of closing doors and how the jaws of life worked on cars. Firehouse Friday was more than just an ordinary event, it was a morning of community connectivity, learning, and most importantly fun. We could not have asked for a better kickstart to our Intern summer, we were very pleased with how this turned out and were already eager for the next event to start.
