West <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 16, 1999 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Fire Department Open House <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Every year in September the Elk River Fire and Ambulance Service holds its annual <br />open house and dance located at 415 Jackson Avenue, the site of the Elk River Fire <br />Department. This year's annual open house and dance is slated for Saturday, <br />September 18, 1999. The open house will be from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. with <br />displays of all of the fire department's equipment, fire department demonstrations, <br />blood pressure checks, cholesterol screening, and many other activities. We will also <br />be giving away free balloons for the children, cookies, pop, popcorn, and fire truck <br />rides on the antique Elk River fire truck. <br /> <br />In the evening from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., will be our fire department dance <br />featuring the White Sidewalls. The White Sidewalls are a fifties and sixties group <br />that has entertained our attendees for the past two years. The White Sidewalls are a <br />very popular group and once again due to popular demand, we have brought the <br />White Sidewalls back for our annual dance. In cooperation with the Elk River Lion's <br />Club, they will be selling the beer, wine coolers, and pop for this event. Once again, <br />on behalf of the open house committee, the fire department is asking for council <br />approval to close 4th Street from Jackson Avenue to Railroad Drive. This short <br />section of 4th Street is located on the south side of the fire department, and for the <br />safety of the dance attendees, the open house committee has requested its closure <br />during the dance only on September 18, 1999. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />On behalf of the Elk Rive Fire Department and its membership, I would like to invite <br />the mayor and council members to both our open house, which is scheduled from 1:00 <br />p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and our dance, from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., on Saturday, <br />September 18,1999, at the Elk River Fire Department. If you have any questions in <br />reference to the open house or dance, please feel free to call me at the Elk River Fire <br />Department, 441-4919. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
