Miscellaneus

A couple of months ago, I shared about a great contest, the Ikea Rescue Remodel. Ikea is partnering with The Family Handyman to give a $25,000 kitchen renovation to a deserving firehouse. The nominees are in and now it’s time to vote!

The nominated firehouses are Redondo Beach Fire Station #1, Palos Fire Protection District #1, Sheridan Fire District, Yonkers Engine Co. 306 and FDNY Squad 61. Please take a minute to visit here and vote!

Disclaimer: I have been paid to post about this event, but I think it’s an excellent contest and a small way we can say thanks to the men and women who serve our communities. All opinions are my own.
