We brought out the old 1936 Fire Engine so kids can climb aboard and parents can take lots of fun pictures. ODF joined in with their truck and equipment so you can see what they use to protect our land and houses AND Smokey the Bear made an appearance!

Our heartfelt THANK YOU to our community for joining us for Family Friendly Fun and Food!
We support teen and adult volunteers and encourage community involvement awareness!
