Not really sure what the deal with this little fella was. It said "In Memory of 2471" on the side of it, which would be a member of Millers Creek VFD. Not sure whether this is privately owned, or a parade truck restoration in progress or what. Anyhow, here's what I know...

And finally, here's the last one I'll post. I shot almost 90 trucks at the parade, but these few were the only ones worth posting here. Check out the WNC Fire Pics website to see them all. I was 491 pics behind on editing! They're all posted on the WNC website now.

Good stuff, Andrew! I think we should do an overnighter this fall in Wilkes County, like we did last year in Rowan County.
Andrew Messer Photos - Andrew2340 - 07-10-2009
Thanks Dave! That sounds like an excellent plan to me! Only drawback is, 99% of the FD's in Wilkes County are volunteer. Maybe we can make a few connections between now & then.

Up here in Jersey we have many fire companies who sponsor public fireworks displays by licensed pyrotechnic professionals. One thing I've never heard of is a fire company actually selling fireworks. But, different traditions happen in various places. I know those in much of the nation have trouble understanding our fire companies having club liquor licenses as fund raisers.
