This is our Annual Fire Prevention Night Committee for 1968. It was always an exciting night for the kids, with Gifts, Prizes and learning sessions. There were also gifts and educational items for adults.
.
We had a wooded area for "Smokey", which consisted of a Grass Mat borrowed from the gentleman that dug the graves in the cemetery and trees donated by Stearns Tree Farm on Yardville~Allentown Road. We had home safety displays, using different types of mannequins borrowed from S.P. Dunham Department Store. Demonstrations of Fire Company Equipment and tours of the trucks. The Ladies Auxiliary served a variety of food and drinks.
.
It was just a time for the Fire Company and the Ladies Auxiliary to get together and have a good time and benefit the community. It was also another chance for us to gather the community together and spend some time together. It was always quality time for everyone.
