68mack's 1974 CF-700

[Guest]

Thought I'd share my picture of it at the Firehosue Expo Parade 06'

After a short rest on Oct. 14th this engine went down to the Tappahannack-Essex Volunteer Fire Department Jesse Chinault Memorial Parade. The trophey was Best Appearing Antique Fire Truck 25 Years FIRST PLACE. While talking to the department's chief he said that they were impressed by the pumps and were shocked the pieces ability including the very early ideas i.e. ground lights and the orginal manufacture doors (now size wise compared to "HIGHWAY doors"). Even after the parade during the dinner at the station for all participants numerous people were still talking about this engine.

How many miles have you put on that Mack since you got it?

[Guest]

Not enough miles if you ask me. As seen in the Brunswick,MD Veteran's Day parade:

On 10/28/06 Dillsburg E-64 attended a event in Baltimore, MD called Touch-A-Truck. Attending this event was a variety of light and heavy trucks. This was an event used as a fundraiser for the Baltimore Junior League. The antique fire engine was a real big HIT!!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I can not resist posting a picture of a kid with a smile on a fire engine

On the night 11/18/2006 the engine went to help Willow Grove kick off the 100th Anniv. celebrations. She spent the night in the Firehouse at Willow Grove 10A

Here she stands ready to parade down the 2006 Hatboro x-mas parade

And on 11/19/2006 while returning back to 10A. I could not resist stopping by Sta 10B for a quick photo OP.

Ah, back at one of her original homes

[68mack]

On December 2nd the Engine attended 4 Christmas Parades in 2 states. 1st parade was Winchester, Va

[68mack]

The 2nd Parade of the day was Barryville, Va about 30 miles from Winchester. She sits behind the Semi-Open C ex. Tyrone PA

[68mack]

As the day went on the parades got better and better. The next parade was in Middleburg, Va.

[68mack]

3 of us had the chance for this race of parades. The gang had to stop by the Middleburg VFD as a pitstop. I was unable to get a shot of her at the Martinsburg, WV as this was nightime parade and was an excellant night parade. So here is a picture of her posed with the units from Middleburg, VA.
