Chief Rick Lasky
Pride & Ownership
Saturday, January 23, 2027
8:00am - 4pm
Gehmans Mennonite School
650 Gehman School Rd
Denver, PA 17517
Pride and Ownership holds no punches. Chief Rick Lasky takes a hard look at the fire service and finds it short on the only element that makes it effective: passion. Chief Lasky gives an upfront and honest criticism about the need to reignite the love of the job on every level, from chiefs on down.
Do you have what it takes? Not everyone is cut out for the fire service. It takes only the best to serve the public when people need help most. Pride and Ownership calls for men and women with honor and integrity to measure up to the task.
There’s nothing else in the world like being a firefighter. Every day Chief Lasky remembers why his job is the best in the world and he brings that passion to Pride and Ownership. Chief Lasky revisits the proud history and tradition of the fire service and reflects on the family values and brotherhood that have made firefighting a truly family-oriented vocation.

RYAN AND FRIENDS
As a busy comedian performing throughout North America, Ryan receives over 500 performance invitations and accepts 175 of these annually. Whether it’s his laugh-crazed theater show, his church performances, or his dynamic corporate events, there are two things his audiences have come to expect: a flawlessly clean show and sidesplitting comedy!
He’s been around too. You may have seen him in the Cincinnati Inquirer, the History Channel, or as a headlining performer on Disney Cruise Lines. His 2,500 (and counting!) comedy performances have taken him to 6 continents. His largest live performance was for over 55,000 people.
