Members of the Dallas Area Ambulance squad, with headquarters next to the Prairie Farm Fire Hall, took part in the Fun on the Flowage celebration held at Pioneer Park on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2020.
With temperatures that stayed at or below zero the entire day, the event wasn’t as well attended as many of the sponsors would have liked, including the ambulance personnel who were hoping to raise money that day with a snowshoe race, human sled-dog race and ice-skating race.
Further funds were raised in a raffle, according to Linda Ambrose, Dallas Ambulance director, and Theresa Lindemer, assistant director. On Monday, March 8, they said the EMTs gathered donations from businesses and organizations in Barron, Prairie Farm, Dallas and Ridgeland.
“This was our first fundraiser for many years,” Lindemer said.
Ambrose said the squad members were preparing to meet that same evening (March 8) to discuss other fundraising possibilities.
