The Grandview Volunteer Fire Department willing to bare (mostly) for a fundraising pinup calendar. The department is planning to replace their rusting tanker truck.

They are all ready kicking around ideas for the next calendar. The 2022 calendar can be ordered by calling the Grandview Municipal Office at 204-546-5250 or once available at locations in Grandview. Get them while they are “HOT”!
