The Avoca Fire & Rescue Department would like to sincerely thank our amazing community for the overwhelming support shown throughout this past weekend. Seeing so many people come together to celebrate this milestone meant more to us than words can truly express.
This fire station became a reality because of the dedication, support, and countless hours put in by fire department members, City Council members past and present, and City staff. We are incredibly grateful to each and every person who played a role in making this happen.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many businesses and individuals who helped make the weekend such a success. Thank you to Hy-Vee for donating the hot dog and hamburger buns, OSI Group in Oakland for donating the hotdogs, and the Avoca Fire & Rescue Association for providing the rest of the meal and drinks. Thank you as well to Stars and Bars for the bounce house and to Wayne Brosam for bringing the bomb robot for the community to enjoy. While LifeNet Helicopter was unfortunately unable to attend due to emergencies in the region, we truly appreciate their continued partnership and support.
We would also like to recognize and thank our generous neighbors for allowing us to use their properties for parking, Jim Irlbeck at Avoca Building Material Center and Mike Jones at Pauley Jones Funeral Home.
A special thank you goes to Aidan Flathers for putting on a great performance, as well as Dirty Pig BBQ and Hungry Spartan Pizza for keeping everyone well fed. Thank you also to The Exchange and Fred’s Tavern for helping keep everyone hydrated throughout the evening, and an extended thank you to Fred’s Tavern for allowing members of the fire department to bartend for an hour and collect tips as a donation to the department.
Most importantly, we want to recognize Cydney Shriver, our Community Relations Coordinator, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help make the entire weekend a success. Your hard work, dedication, and countless hours did not go unnoticed. Thank you.
We are proud to be part of such a supportive community and honored to serve the City of Avoca and the surrounding area with a department that is dedicated, passionate, and committed to helping others.
