It wasn’t hard to find the contestants for the BBQ ribs
cook-off – all you had to do was follow your nose! Representatives from the Reynolds Police Department,
Reynolds Culinary program, the City of Richmond Police Department and the City
of Richmond Fire Department competed for top honors. The City of Richmond
Police Department took home the trophy.
The dunking booth benefited the Carol Adams Foundation, an
organization providing emergency assistance to women and children who are
victims of domestic violence. Associate
Vice President for Human Resource Corliss Woodson and Reynolds Police Officer Amy
Olivieri were the good sports who took a soaking for a good cause.
Representatives from the Virginia State Police HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Theft) unit were on-site etching VIN numbers on to auto glass for participants. The VIN etching process uses a chemical to permanently mark glass and only takes about 10 minutes to complete and doesn't affect the appearance of the vehicle. Sponsored by the Henrico County Police Department, the vehicle etching was free.
The Emergency Responders Job Fair took place in the commons area of Burnette Hall. Representatives from Henrico Police Department, Chesterfield Police Department, Richmond Police Department, Henrico Fire Department, and Chesterfield Fire Department met with those considering a career in law enforcement and/or fire science.
