Do they do any cow chip bingo? My friends in Georga tell me that's very popular fundraising for many organizations.[/quote]
Yes, I fully agree with the fact that it is not safe and do not condone it, but the selling of fireworks I'm sure could raise a lot of money for VFDs. I'm not in TN to know all are their fundraising but I'm sure they have BBQ, fish fry and poor boy suppers as well as carnivals and selling fireworks. Not sure about bingo, but any way they can raise funds I'm sure they utilize.
