So the day of the Derby starts about 9:00 am. We get to the rodeo grounds and start setting things up. Then around 11:00 cars start coming and the fun begins. We see all kinds of different paint jobs and cars with stacks on them. If you don't know the derby is the fire dept main event of the year where they make the money for equipment to protect our hero's. Anyways it was a special year again for us becuz my cousin Brian was here again from California. He had two cars didn't do well but was great seeing him. We love you Brian. The derby starts at 6:00 pm with the fire dept doing a special performances and our very own firefighter Chris Bodine sang the national anthem. We think he should go to American Idol,LOL. Then the cars come out for the best paint job. The crowd cheers for the best paint job, why they paint them so nice I will never understand they a destroyed it 2 seconds. After that the first heat starts Brian was in this one. His car was not running well so instead of getting hit he got out before it started. So then it started the cars crashed and crashed. It is the only time you can crash and not get a ticket HAHA. So the second heat started and Brian was in that one too. He did okay until his car got a good hit and died. We had a new event this year it was mini-vans and yes they did look cool driving in a mini van LOL. The announcer this year had our firefighters getting out in the middle of the pit and stand in a circle and do the hockie pockie. That started it all off My dad (who won the best dancer in his senior class 30 years ago) decided to dance for the crowd again us girls were embarrassed keep in mind we know everyone in town. He started dropping his bunker gear pants he had other pants on but some girls came down and gave him 3 dollars. Dad we love you. So the event ends around 10:30pm. We stay there until 12:00 am to kinda get things cleaned up. Then the next morning we go back and clean up good. So if you are every in little town EvanstonWyoming on the second Saturday of September and you hear cars crashing and people cheering come join the fun. We love our Firefighters and what amazing men they are. I have the joy having 3 of them in my family. Never forget the once we lost and always remember what once we have and what they do for us. My hero's forever. I love you all.
