We have a ton of amazing arts and ceafts vendors this weekend, but we also have some really awesome nonprofit/ community booths, and this is one of them! You can be a part of saving lives!

With Heritage Days coming up this weekend we wanted to mention something that we are proud of Captain Middleton for spearheading. If you have never heard of Be The Match we would like to invite you down to learn about this great cause. We will have a table during the day that will educate you on bone marrow donation and, if you find it in your heart to do so, allow you to sign up with the registry. The table is planned to move to the station during our turkey dinner fund raising event to allow even more to sign up.
Please consider joining the registry!

Hungry for turkey? Visit TTES this Saturday, August 20th, between 3pm - 7pm for their Heritage Days Turkey Dinner. This year's dinner is donation based and there will also be raffle ticket drawings for prizes donated by local businesses. All donations and raffle ticket money will be utilized to purchase life safety equipment for the department. Hope to see you there!
