For many decades, after the annual July parade, each company of PJFD took their guests back to their firehouse or other location for refreshments and after that most would "tour" the other 6 PJ firehouses plus Matamoras PA for more food and drink. I was fortunate enough to visit Delaware's old firehouse in the very early 1970's before it was replaced and demolished. One thing I remember is that Delaware Engine 2 was famous for its buttermilk served right from milk cans fresh from a local dairy. It was good.
