Here is your TGFS Guess the Weight photo for 2010: A firetruck and all the equipment associated with it, 16 people (and all the fire gear associated with them) and Sparky the Fire Dog. How much do you think all of this weighs? Staff Assembly runs the Guess the Weight contest annually as part of the Thank Goodness for Staff celebration. Whoever comes closest to the actual weight will win a trip for two to Disneyland, including two adult passes and a two-night stay at a nearby hotel. Turn in your entries at the Guess the Weight tent during the TGFS Picnic, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. May 12 on Hutchison Field, next to the west entry garage off Hutchison Drive. Everyone in the photo is associated with the campus Fire Department, unless otherwise indicated.
