Midway RCMP are looking for redemption against Midway Fire & Rescue as the annual Guns and Hoses fundraiser returns to the ice.
Taking place this Sunday, Feb. 15, at the Boundary Expo Recreation Centre arena in Midway, Cpl. Mike Rampone of the Midway RCMP said the Mounties have their eyes on the prize.
“The fire department won last year in a shootout, and they won’t stop bragging about it. So, this year we’re going to take the trophy back, no doubt about it.”
While the teams will compete on the ice, they will join forces off the ice to raise funds for Grand Forks Search and Rescue and the Boundary Skating Skills Camp, which teaches skating skills to children in the Boundary area.
“Our youth are important,” said Rampone.
The free event will feature prizes and a 50/50 draw.
“Come and watch, It’s going to be a fun afternoon,” said Rampone.
“We’re looking forward to this important fundraiser for the community, as well as having fun.”
“However, there’s a reason we keep score and we’re looking to beat the firefighters.”
The schedule is as follows:
2:30 p.m. — Family skate with the Osoyoos Coyotes
3:30 p.m. — RCMP K9, Shoot to Win and more
4:30 p.m. — Guns and Hoses game
