13 Oct 2007 -- Fort Lewis "FLEXed" their muscles in a show of their abilities. And ... added a chili cook-off for good measure. All of it benefiting Fort Lewis' Fisher House. To contact them ... FHMAMC@aol.com
A small crowd gathered for the day's events. If you are from Western Washington, it makes perfect sense that had it been a cloudy, overcast day in October, they'd have likely had larger numbers. But when a Saturday is as beautiful as today was, us Sounders like to get out and enjoy the colors of the turning trees; like Trix ... raspberry red, lemon yellow, and orange-orange.
But a small crowd just meant more for those in attendance.
The Boy Scouts came out to support the effort, manning the giveaway table. Food was plentiful and good!
But without doubt, the stars of the day was the FLEX (Fort Lewis Extrication) Team. They did not one, but two, different demonstrations. And though I hope never to need their services, I am sure glad we have such capable teams in our community!
