This demonstrates the terrific support the event recieves from Milton. The local FD also extended tremendous support by doing much of the setup for the various physical challenges, sending a team to participate and putting on a demonstration.

A Visit from the Red Knights!

The Red Knights Motorcycle Club, composed of fire fighters, were here at the museum and had a great turnout. They had 81 people registered and 62 bikes participated. They had a live band on the front lawn for a short time which drew quite a few people to the museum as well.
