Uncle Joe Benson's morning crew Paintballing

   

August 4, 2002: "Uncle Joe" Benson's Great Paintball Extreme Challenge at the new Hollywood Sports Park in Bellflower was a major success! Following a week of intense promoing, two teams of 15 winners and five firefighters from L.A. Fire Department Station 105 were assembled. One group was led by J.B. and sidekick/Ninja goddess Sioux-z Jessup, and the other was led by sports guru Scott St. James and news person/Warrior Princess Molly Paige. Worr Game Products and Paintball Junkies each signed on to sponsor a team (which had the flashiest shirts?), and the battle was engaged with great vigor! With minimal bruising at the end of the day, a great time was had by all.

Celebrating in the afterglow; and
firefighters can park anywhere they want.
