Guns and Hoses April 16, 2011

Guns & Hoses pits police officers against firefighters in a series of three-round bouts. Each bout lasts one minute.

Officer Patrick Phernetton hatched the idea as a way to raise money for his project to build and fund a group home for people with Prader-Willi syndrome. Phernetton’s 12 year-old daughter, Mickey, was born with the genetic disorder, which causes sufferers to feel hungry constantly.

He joined forces with fellow offic...ers Billy Bolin and Paul Kirby using some of the proceeds to support Kid’s Kingdom, a popular Evansville playground Bolin and Kirby developed.

This year, half the money from ticket sales and sponsorships will go toward the group home with the other half going toward a yet undecided charity. That recipient will rotate each year with a board of three firefighters and three police officers determining who gets it.

Tickets go On Sale Friday, February 4 at 10:00am. Seats are $22 and $17 for Reserved seats and $12 for Adult and $2 for Children General Admission. All tickets are subject to Ticketmaster Fees, Handling Charges and Facility Fees.
