Cakes for the Cause

They arrived in droves to grab some of the best breakfast deals to be found anywhere, an array of finely crafted foods prepared and presented by the Newaygo Fire Department folks and their many supporters.
“I told you there would be bacon,” said a pancake patron to his companion after reading the menu displayed at the front.. “If it’s at the fire department they’re gonna have bacon.”
Of course there was bacon. And sausage and eggs and juice and of course pancakes for the mere cost of whatever one wished to donate to an excellent cause as the money raised will be used to purchase rescue gear for medical responders and firefighters. The lightweight gear can be used to protect fire department members during extractions, motor-vehicle accidents, technical rescues and more.
Breakfast-goers also got a peek at the recently refurbished truck parked out front.
And we got to meet future Chief-in-Waiting Zachary Newfer.
