Crown King Fire Department

The Crown King Fire Department would like to thank everyone who helped with, contributed to, and attended our Dinner Dance.  This year's Dinner Dance and Auction was a resounding success, despite inches of pouring rain. 


We appreciate all the folks who drove up and down in the mud to see us and to enjoy the music of the Bradshaw Mountain Band and our auctioneers, Dan & Jeanna Rousch.  We are grateful for the support of all the community businesses and friends who came and ran things as we answered seven emergency calls. Thanks to the many donations of goods, services, and help, and the generosity of the over 400 people who attended, we were able to raise the extra income necessary to help fund many valuable projects. 

This year's proceeds will be used to supplement funding needed to continue our fuels reduction program, decreasing the wildland fire threat to our community and visitors.  We also will be using the proceeds to provide training and equipment for our volunteers, helping us provide the best possible service for our residents and visitors. 

We would not have been able to accomplish all these things without the continued support of our friends and neighbors.  Once again, thank you for your help.

This Month's Contributed Article/Recipe:

From Colleen Pepper: Try this recipe from the Pepper Kitchen for your Thanksgiving stuffing:


Corn Bread, Green Chili and Nut (preferably pine nut) Stuffing

1st, you need a loaf of corn bread.

If you need a corn bread recipe here is a link for Easy Corn Bread:


Cool corn bread completely. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.

Next, move on to rest of the recipe:

1 cup raisins
1/3 cup tequila

2-3 large fresh green chilies like Anaheims

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

1/2 1-pound round loaf sourdough bread, crust trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
3/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted. If you don't have pine nuts, use your favorite nut.
2 large eggs, beaten to blend

1 1/4 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth

Combine raisins and tequila in large saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand until most of tequila is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. Drain well.

Char chilies over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop chilies.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped chilies, onions, thyme, marjoram and sage. Cook until onions just begin to color, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

(Bread, raisins and chili mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Store bread and raisins at room temperature; chill chili mixture.)

Crumble corn bread into large bowl. Add raisins, chili mixture, sourdough bread cubes and pine nuts. Toss to blend. Season stuffing to taste with salt and pepper. Mix eggs into stuffing.

Lastly, bake stuffing in either the turkey or a baking dish. Here is a link for both methods.
