Wichita on the Cheap — It’s like money in the bank.

$60 Fire Truck Party Tour

09/02/2010

A Groupon for a one-hour fire-truck tour is appropriate for so many special occasions. The fire truck is a 1958 vintage model converted into a tour bus has tables and benches that will seat 8, and another two seats in the front. You can use it a lot of different ways — just use it before April (because that’s when it expires).

Limit of 2 person but you can buy multiple as gifts. It looks like fun!

The price for the ride doesn’t include food, but you can have Jet cater your party of ten or more for as low as $5.40 per person. Just be sure to buy your Groupon today, because it will be gone tomorrow, replaced by another Groupon deal. Gratuity not included. Reservations required.

I’ve linked you via my affiliate link. If you decide to take advantage of the deal and want to help support Wichita on the Cheap, use the link(s) above. Thanks!

This is a KWCH video that’s about Jet BBQ, not specifically the fire truck. But it explains a lot. (I hadn’t remembered that Jet BBQ was the one in the fire house. Now the connection between the fire truck tour and the restaurant makes perfect sense.)

Spend only $25 for $50 worth of shopping at Lucindas. The Groupon is good for a whole year.
