After receiving numerous nominations relating to this situation, we are proud to name…The Valders Fire Department as this week’s Rick and Cutter Show… Weenies of the Week!
I’ll let one of our nominators, Darla from Collins, explain. Wrote Darla, “For 118 years the Collins Fire Department has held their picnic this weekend, the last weekend in July. For whatever reason, the Valders Fire Department decided to change their picnic date to the same damn weekend! Valders Fire Department has always had their picnic on the first weekend in August. Collins and Valders are only 6 miles apart. It gets worse and even more weenie-worthy” She writes, …. Us people in the sticks like watching big machinery pull stuff. With that being said, there’s a thing called the Eliminator that gets pulled by trucks & tractors, namely the N.E.W Truck and Tractor Pullers”.
According to Darla, the Collins Fire Department expected the pullers to be their big attraction because “they get them every year”, but, she writes, “Valders Fire Department slithered in and signed a contract with the pullers and changed the date of their picnic”.
Continues Darla, “Both departments rely heavily on support from the local community and surrounding communities to fund their volunteer departments. Now with 2 picnics on the same weekend and only 6 miles apart, both departments will likely lose money! Only a weenie would change the date and steal the big attraction from your neighboring fire department’s picnic and cause the departments to lose the respect and rapport that they once shared. These two departments must work together and back each other up when bad stuff happens and this has caused a lot of hard feelings. Please award Valders Fire Department with Weenie of the Week and tell them to change next year’s picnic back to when they always had it”.
So,
For being professional firefighters but apparently not realizing that it’s wrong to hose another department.
For messing with a tradition that’s been going on for 118 years, almost as long as I’ve been doing this show.
And for being dedicated to fighting fires but then apparently acting like a bunch of flaming a-holes.
We are proud to name the perpetrators of the unapologetic picnic conflict of Manitowoc County, The Valders Fire Department as this week’s Rick and Cutter Show…WEENIES OF THE WEEK!
