Okayyyy, for our FIRST Fire & Fairways Classic… we think we set the bar pretty high. ⛳️🔥

A little crisp? Sure. But the sun was BEAMING, the fall foliage was showing off, and the vibes were truly immaculate.

We kicked things off with the Star-Spangled Banner on an ELECTRIC GUITAR by our fitness director from Albany - Brian (iconic), had a DJ keeping the energy up, fresh cider donuts from @focastlefarm_countrystore , tastings, samples, and SO much fun happening throughout the course.

Honestly, this was exactly what we envisioned when we decided we wanted to create a golf tournament that felt a little different.

And the best part? We got to bring our community together to raise money for the @afcdf518 and @schenectadyffcancerfdn .

To everyone who golfed, volunteered, donated, or helped bring this event to life, THANK YOU. We couldn’t have asked for a better first year.

And to our incredible sponsors who helped make it all possible:

We’re already thinking about next year… because how are we NOT supposed to do that again?! 😂

Fire & Fairways 2027, we’re coming for you. ⛳️🔥

What a night at Frog Alley Brewing!

A special thank you to our amazing sponsors including Best Fitness for hosting the event and Harding Mazzotti, LLP for ensuring everyone had a safe ride home.

Also thank you to our raffle prize donors and Local 11, you all played a role with helping bring everyone together for a great night and an even greater cause.

We’d also like to thank our friends at the Albany Firefighters Cancer and Disability Foundation for continuing to stand alongside us in supporting firefighters and their families.

And last but not least, to everyone who came out, thank you for being part of our mission. We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support of our community and everyone who helps make events like this possible. Every event, every donation, and every person who shows up helps us continue supporting firefighters and families impacted by cancer

We’ll see you all very soon!

DM me “GOLF” and I’ll send you the registration link ⛳️You can also grab it right from the link in my bio!

Okay MY PEOPLE, I’m calling you in.

We only need a few more foursomes to round out Fire & Fairways, and at this point I am specifically recruiting the FUN ones.

Think one last really good day of golf before we surrender to winter.

Peak fall foliage, music on the course, food + drinks, Bloody Marys + mimosas, prizes, raffles, on-course entertainment and swag bags that have absolutely no business being this good.

And while the day is going to be a PARTY, the reason behind it is even better. We’re raising money to support local organizations helping Albany + Schenectady firefighters impacted by cancer.

Also, selfish request from your resident content girl:

PLEASE COME GIVE ME CONTENT. 😂

I need the golf-cart DJs. The dancing at the tee box. The unnecessarily aggressive celebrations after one decent putt. The friend who is significantly better at having fun than they are at golf.

You do NOT need to be good. You just need three people you’d willingly spend a Saturday with and a commitment to the bit.

Come golf. Come hang. Help us raise some money for an incredible cause. ⛳️

It’s the weekend finally so head on down to Frog Alley! Tomorrow Saturday October 3 we are hosting the second OktoberBest event!🐸👀

Yes, tomorrow is about coming together, having a great time, and enjoying an incredible day but it’s also about something much bigger: giving back to the firefighters who spend their careers protecting all of us.

And make sure you watch this video all the way to the end! 👀 Corey puts Tommie through a portion of the CPAT, the Candidate Physical Ability Test, firefighters have to complete. It’s a small glimpse into just how physically demanding this job really is.

The heavy gear. The heat. The sweat. The smoke, chemicals, and contaminants they encounter while doing their jobs. Many of the very things firefighters rely on and are exposed to while keeping our communities safe can also contribute to an increased risk of occupational cancer.

That’s exactly why events like Oktoberbest matter. They show up for us on our worst days. Tomorrow, we get to show up for them. 💪🏻🍻🚒

Tickets available at frogalleybrewing.com or at the door.
