Rotarian Walt Zierman enjoys the view from the cab of the fire truck.
Who could resist climbing aboard a fire truck? Not everyone. At the National Night Out, Walt Zierman received a surprise visit from the Magnolia fire truck that appeared in his neighborhood. He could not resist and climbed up into the cab. “The view is great from up here,” said Walt.
You may have seen Walt around Magnolia before. A long-time member of the Rotary Club of Magnolia, Walt has been seen at the Farmer’s Market and most recently at Summerfest selling tickets to the Rotary’s Annual Tennis Ball Roll. Walt reports that all tickets have been sold and the big roll-off is planned for Sunday, Aug. 18 at 10 a.m.
“This is a fun event for the community and a great fundraiser for Rotary. All proceeds stay in Magnolia to support the community,” reports Walt. “And the winning prize is $250 and the privilege of having your name included on the trophy?”
The roll-off is held at the field next to the Magnolia Community Center. There will be four preliminary rounds leading up to the final. All are invited to come and cheer on this fun event.
