Several Minnesota Active Retiree Service (MARS) volunteers measured, cut and fused plastic natural gas service line to create more than 6,000 circle hoop toys this year. The hoops will be used at community fairs during National Fire Prevention Week to help educate customers about using natural gas safely. Pictured are MARS volunteers Austin Loeffler, Jim McGrath, Butch Gammon, Barb Olinger, Roger Henningsgaard, Paul Scheuller and Willard Stevens.
