The purpose of this trip was to attend the fire apparatus show at the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer.  Attendance was much higher than last year, but down from previous years.  I was joined by Micah Bodford, Jon Umbdenstock (The Silent One) and Mark Carr.  After the show, we also visited a few local area FD's for more apparatus photography.

Well, they didn't have it last year.....

Yes, it is usually an annual event, held in June.  Not sure if it is always the same weekend, but their website puts up the date and advance ticket sales a month or two in advance.  It officially begins at 9AM, but several of us are out there at the entrance, shooting apparatus as they arrive, as early as 7:30.  You are welcome to join us.
