Events
The department sponsors several
events each year and assists in others. Our major event is the
"Homecoming Picnic", held the first Sunday in August
each year. In conjunction with that event are: The Firehouse Fifty, the premiere bicycle road race and
tour in the mid-west,; the Fantasy Fifty, a 35 mile version of
the Fifty; the Firehouse 15K running race and the Firehouse Fun
Run, a 2 mile run.
We also sponsor two other
events as fund raisers/public relation events: the "Penny
Supper" and Father's Day Pancake Breakfast. We also have adopted nine miles of
US Highway 63, ten miles of County highway "D" and the
other 94 miles of public roads in the Township as part of the
spring clean-up campaign.
The fire department helps
the Grand View Recreation Association in their annual lutefisk
dinner, the first Saturday in December. The proceeds go to the
continuation of the Grand View Ball Park to support girls and
boys little league softball and baseball, Babe Ruth baseball and the Grand
View Tigers baseball teams.
The department organizes and
operates two aide stations for the Famous American Birkebeiner Cross Country ski race for fifteen
years and various individuals volunteer their services to the
"Fat Tire Festival," an off road bicycle event held
between Hayward and Telemark.
