WELLS — Police in Wells are going to bust a move for a good cause, and they are looking for public input as to what song they should get their groove on to.
Law enforcement officers across the country are participating in “Fueling Dreams.” Through a partnership with Circle K convenience stores and Irving Oil gas stations, police officers pump gas and collect donations for Special Olympics.
Here in Maine, money from these events will go to Special Olympics Maine, which provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for more than 3,800 children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Wells Police will be out at the pumps “Fueling Dreams” on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Irving Oil gas station on U.S. Route 1 in Wells.
The local police department, as in years past, is going to kick things up a notch by dancing at 1 p.m.
Police are asking the public to choose their favorite of three suggested songs on Facebook by tonight at 5 p.m. The choices are: “Cupid Shuffle” by Cupid, “Crank That” by Soulja Boy Tell Em and “Juju on that Beat” by Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion Mccall.
Police will dance to the song with the most votes. It looks like the department not only wants input on what song it should dance to, but would also like the public to come and bring their dance moves on Saturday.
The Police Department posted that it will reveal the winning song this evening and said “just so you can practice and join us in dancing on Saturday at 1 p.m.”
As of Thursday afternoon, the “Cupid Shuffle” had an overwhelming lead over the other two songs. To vote, go to www.facebook.com/WellsMainePolice.
