  The Palomar Mountain Volunteer Fire Department’s Annual Fund Raiser is nothin’ but good, old fashioned fun.  Every Labor Day weekend for the past 30-some years the community comes together for a great time while padding the pockets a bit for the Fire Department.

Everyone looks forward to the Raffle.  The success of the raffle largely depends of the donations.  What ideas do YOU have?  In the past we’ve had gift certificates for hair cuts, or spa days, helicopter rides, mountain gifts, carved bears, passes to Disneyland, Wild Animal Park, (do you have extra guest passes?), SeaWorld, oil paintings, all sorts of stuff!

What contacts do YOU have?  Who do you know that might donate something fun?  What would YOU like to contribute?

Here are some pix from years past:  http://www.mypalomarmountain.com/labordaybbq/

Subject: 8′ Cal Spa Hot Tub – FREE!

FREE CalSpa 8×8 Hot Tub

We need to make room so the hot tub’s gotta go!  CalSpa PS-2 full-sized

(8’x8′) acrylic hot tube (mid 90’s) – I’m original owner and it still

works great!   Redwood exterior, with 8 jets, air-injector, interior

light, EZ-lifter, and foam cover.

Has circulation timer and temp control.  Requires 220v / 50Amp

service.    Its an older model (with NO COMPUTER) so its reliable and

easy to maintain.  Replaceable heating element is a standard water-heater coil.  Costs about $30 for the initial heat up – and about

$1 per day to maintain the temperature.

Cherry-swirl acrylic tub has some small stress cracks, but it does not leak.  The exterior wood is showing some age – and the base molding is splintered in some areas.  It could use coat of wood sealer and some exterior paint.  A new lid would be a good idea.

It is one of the bigger spas weighing over 500 lbs, so you must have a heavy trailer or 3/4 truck to transport it.  I can load unit with a crane (FOB), but you’ll need as least 6 guys to unload it.

Installation would require someone handy who understands spa power and safety requirements.  Serious inquires only – don’t bother to call unless you have a way to move it right away!

More snake stories have come my way this year than ever before.  Matt Bailey was wearing steel toes boots when a rattler chomped onto the toe of his boot.  Glad that 37 incher didn’t get through to his foot.  Other stories include our weed eater guys coming across “the biggest one he’d ever seen” on Palomar.  And, we got a baby up by our place.  Keeping a watchful eye out on the mom, dad, and siblings… Can’t be too careful!  Click for an article telling about more bites reported this year than ever before.

Have dogs?  There is Rattlesnake avoidance training available at High on Kennels.   I spoke to the owner the other day who also cautions parents to talk to their children about wearing boots and jeans in this weather, not putting their hands into holes, really watching out for snakes and running like crazy if they see one.

Simply click for the simple way YOU can contribute in keeping this 2000 acre treasure open!  Hooray!  Thanks to all!

We’re the land of the free because of the brave.

May you all have a dazzling day with family and friends!
