ELMSDALE:<\/strong> On an early Wednesday in November, Elmsdale Volunteer firefighters and their families were treated to a tasty reward with one condition. They had to have received their flu shots just moments earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building upon having the department receive its flu shots, Philomena Oakley, owner of Philly\u2019s Country Oven Bakery in Dutch Settlement, was invited over to the department by firefighter Laura Mather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thought having Philly and her delicious cinnamon buns on hand would be a perfect treat for those getting their flu shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philly also had a special presentation to make to Elmsdale Fire Chief Kevin Goodman before the night got busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started a program last summer where the customers that purchase cinnamon products, I would donate 10 per cent of the sales to a fire station,\u201d said Philly. \u201cThe customers would nominate their fire stations and when a fire station reached 50 nominations, they would be the fire station to receive the 10 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philly said the communities support has been astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
