James Wicker was promoted to Captain. We had a years of service award for James Smith for his many years as a member and board member. Thanks to all members and our community for everything you do.

After much discussion with the Police and Fire Chiefs, the Christmas Parade IS STILL ON.

If we need to cancel because of severe weather, it will be at the last possible minute, but I would just plan on getting out your rain gear.

We understand that we cannot make everyone happy with this decision, but to be honest we get complaints either way.

For those of you planning to participating in the parade, I hope you are still going to be in it.

For those of you wanting to watch it, I hope you come out and have a great time with us!

See you Saturday RAIN OR SHINE!

We are still taking applications! Contact us to get yours and make a difference in your community.
