St. Michael Fire Explorers: Workin' at the Car Wash
Despite the deluge Saturday, the Explorer program got a bit of a boost from some residents looking for a shiny ride.
The St. Michael Fire Department's Explorers program held its spring car wash Saturday.
And, predictably, it rained. A lot.
Fortunately, a few kind-hearted souls made their way into the bays of the fire department, where the kids could wash and wipe down some cars for a few bucks.
