With an eye on starting a drive-through Christmas light display for Beebe next year, Assistant City Clerk-Treasurer Harley Spears turned to the city’s volunteer firefighters for a fundraiser.
Spears said she kept thinking about what would be a fun way to raise money and thought, “Well, everybody goes crazy about a firefighter calendar, so let’s do that.”
She said after the firefighters agreed to it, “they came in on a Friday night and a Saturday night on their own time and volunteered to do that. Thirteen of them participated. And then I thought what would be cuter than just firefighters? The dogs from the [Beebe] Animal Shelter would be even better. So I asked our two animal control officers if they would come and Cheryl [Burgess] brought different dogs. She brought puppies, she brought full-sized dogs, and they modeled with our firefighters for the calendar.”
