Night 1 of the Festival

Went to bed last night around 03:30 hours and got up this morning at 12:30 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch and the read the paper while I watched All My Children on TV. I then got on the computer and played a game for a half an hour. I then got off and got my orange drinks together for the festival tonight and then headed up to the fire house. I got there and put my drinks in the fire house fridge. I then took my mothers fudge up and put it in the fridge in the hall. I then grabbed the drill and put my wheel up and put my board on the stand. I then did the board for the cake wheel. I put the drill away and then grabbed the Windex and cleaned up the Dice Wheel boards and then went into the hall and cleaned up the wheel. I then went out and hanged up the signs on the stands. House and Jason were there by then as was Bill. I had House and Jason help me set up the Dime Pitch, Fish Bowl Game and the Soda Pitch. We then moved two tables out and I put the signs on them. Then a guy from Love 99 pulled up and asked for Bubba. I told him that he was at work and then he explained that he was there to talk to some of us since they had given us 6 air time spots for the night. I told him that I would call R0bin and then she came up and talked to him. He interviewed her first, and then he interviewed me, and then after me Helen. After I was done with him. I went back to setting some things up. After about 15 minutes, I decided to sit in my car and listen to Love 99. I had turned the radio on just at the right time, as 30 seconds after I turned it on, I came on the air. I listened to me talk and then went back to work. We got things all set up and I got into my stand and business was slow at first. Then around 19:30 hours, I heard Andy's pager open up and heard the pre-dispatch for a cardiac arrest on Creek Drive. I started taking my money bag off and threw it in the cash box and dove out under the front of the stand. I got halfway down to the station when I felt for my cell phone and did not feel it. I quickly ran back to the stand and found it laying in front of the stand. I picked it back up and put it in my pocket and then ran back down to the station. I kicked my shoes off and got in my bunker pants and then grabbed my jacket and helment and ran up to the Engine. Lonny drove, Jason was on the officers seat. I was behind Lonny, LeeAnn was next to me and Dave Warfel was in the right jump seat. We got there and my father was there along with Charlie and Michelle Biksing. We pulled in and the ambulance was right behind us. The lady was not in cardiac arrest and never was in cardiac arrest, she was just unconscious. Sue and Amanda were on the bus and we helped them load the lady up and then we left and headed back. Once back at the station, I got my shoes back on and then went back up to my stand. By that time the crowd had picked up. We started closing up around 21:50 hours as the crowd was thining out. After we got everything in, they sat down to count the money. My candy wheel made $53.00 and overall we made $270 some dollars more then we did last year. I then headed on home around 00:05 hours. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
