Turkey Bowl: PD 84, FD 77

The first-ever Turkey Bowl on the lawn at Grandscape is in the books! It took five overtimes, but the Police Department prevailed over the Fire Department, 84-77, on Saturday, Nov. 12. Thanks to everyone who brought a toy to the game. The toys will be distributed for kids in The Colony this Christmas. Many thanks to the folks at Grandscape for helping us host this fun event.
