6/1/14 CHOI Telethon Peoria

Our 3rd year invited to be a part of the annual telethon for the CHOI in Peoria. Our time was split between BAT and outdoors drawing attention to their Life Flight Helicopter on display.

10/17/14-BAT Fundraiser reward. Morton, Il 61550

As strange as it may sound, this was a Blast -a- Trooper set up for an elementary school as a "prize" for those students who individually raised $200 or more during their Walk a Thon fundraiser. Grades k-6 were each given their own time slot to take part in the outdoor activities. Those not earning ...

Re: Hello...from Princeton IL

And you can use that same flight suit and belt/boots to do a Tie Pilot, Navy Trooper, & Crewman. Options my friend, options. Check out our calendar and see if you can make an event.
