A Thanksgiving Eve tradition, Budweiser “Guns ‘N Hoses” features boxing matches between teams of law enforcement and fire services personnel from throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. The event has raised $2.3 million for the BackStoppers since it was first held in 1987 and has drawn record crowds to the Scotttrade Center, the premier entertainment venue centrally located in the St. Louis area.
