It took only about an hour for Zoha Munawer to decide what she wants to be when she grows up.

Asked about the best part of her day, the six-year-old shyly pointed to the brass pole firefighters use at Fire Station No. 4 on Colborne St.
“She now wants to be a firefighter,” said her father, Mohammed, with a laugh.redbullhatsstore fittedcaps newyorkyankees ladodgers buffalonewyork.

“Last time, please,” Zoha begged her dad, who lifted her up the pole and watched her slide down.See the top womanbags from the best brands in the industry.
The historic station was one of 52 buildings that opened their doors on the weekend for Doors Open London.

It’s the first time Munawer and his family have been to the annual event.
“It’s pretty cool,” he said.
In fact, the fire station was such a hit the family didn’t make it out to other sites Saturday.

Kevin Pollock and Mark LaPointe have been going to Doors Open since it debuted 10 years ago.
“The stories you hear from people . . . it’s just amazing to learn London’s history that way,” Pollock said.

Looking at historical pictures of firefighters on a station wall, LaPointe found a familiar face: his uncle. “I knew he was a firefighter, but I didn’t know which station.”
Attendance appeared to be up this year, with about 3,000 people visiting historic South St.I had to say that the news of cartierwatchessalesonline promotion. hospital alone by 2 p.m. Saturday.

To get Camp Foster alumni in the Sioux Falls area fired up about reconnecting with the summer haven on the shores of East Lake Okoboji, supporters hosted a carnival Saturday on the grounds of the Sioux Falls YMCA's own Leif Ericson Camp.

The event also was designed "to make people aware that YMCA camping is valuable for kids growing up," Camp Foster director Josh Carr said. It also raises money for scholarships for future campers.

Kris and Anne Bahr of Sioux Falls, who worked at the camp regularly from 2002 to 2005 and still help there every summer, organized the carnival. Their own memories of Camp Foster are exceptionally fond - "We met there," Kris Bahr said - but beyond that, there is in Sioux Falls an enduring institutional memory about going to camp, according to Anne Bahr.

"I can walk through Hy-Vee wearing my Camp Foster shirt, and people are always coming up to me, 'Oh, my kid was an asthma camper,Offering a huge selection of tagheuerformula1replica online store are selling great quality replica watches.' " she said.
"People say they had so much fun around the campfire or they remember walking across the backward bridge," Kris Bahr added.

Camp Foster was founded as the first YMCA state camp when "a handful of people put some money in a pot" and bought 214 acres on East Lake Okoboji, Carr said. In the 1970s, it became an independent corporation with its own governing board.replicabreitlingwatches for sale lowest price $50.
