Tonight, the members and their families were able to take a well deserved break from the weekly training night and spend time together watching the Phillies take on the Cincinati Reds at CBP. The evening was organized by Capt. B. Harris Jr. and was in the works for several months. After a short "tailgate" in the parking lot of Sta. 63 while everyone anxiously awaited the arrival of Sgt. Pippin who was late, the group boarded a tour bus rented by the fire co. and driven by Life Member Gary Junkerman. Another short tailgate ensued at the Park where everyone enjoyed hoagies and soft pretzels. The entertainment on the field was awesome as well as the Phillies had a walk-off win thanks to a 2 out base hit from All-Star Shane Victorino in the 9th inning. Thanks to Chief Lombardo from Garden City and his guys for joining us but most of all to Capt. Harris for organizing this great trip. We can't wait til next year!!!!!
Thanks also go out to Ogden (E55-1) and Newtown Square (L-41) for covering the station tonight.
