2008 Canvas Owners!

It's Firewagon Chuckwagon Time again! This year will be better than ever thanks to all our personal and corporate members. We will be out front on the track to show the true spirit of the Firewagon -- the Firewagon being a symbol of Volunteer and Community Spirit.

We're fortunate to have Grant Preece as our driver in 2008!

We would like to congratulate our new members and welcome back past members as everyone who supports the Firewagon is important in making the *Wagon Wheels Go Around*.

This year the Firewagon corporate Canvas Owners, Wagon Masters and Wagon Owners plus our dedicated Drivers and Outriders, are gearing up to make 2008 another enthusiastic and exciting year.

If you know of any corporation or business that may be interested in joining the fun, don't hesitate to pass on this information by emailing Blake or calling 606-8059. Each corporate member you bring is a pin in your new Firewagon Ranchcoat or Buckle that we give you.

As Chuckwagon fans, we look forward to cheering on the Firefighters Firewagon in the usual spirit of the Firewagon, we have decided to enter another important race.
