Engine 260 Muster

[Guest mahopacfire2003]

Well its that time of year again. The annual Engine 260 muster is coming up on September 6th, 2008. The day includes a parade of all the apparatus both old and new( Vehicles used to transport people there such and chief cars, ect.) to the muster field. Followed by judging of the apparatus, games, raffles, and of course the flea market. All in all its one big day of fun for those who injoy what they do. So the big question, who's going and what vehicle are you bringing?

Mahopac will be attening as always with some one the best people you could hang out with which makes a day like that even better or as we say " it makes the comradery".....not sure what truck we are bringing yet?

The rain date is the next day but i agree with eddie...."think happy thoughts"

[fitzjr11 17]

Well is it on???

[capt2102 64]

Hey Paul... why don't you sell umberellas and ponchos? Or do they sell better on sunny days?

[IzzyEng4 427]

Well is it on???

As of right now yes. They will decide by tonight if it will still be on or not because of the rain coming. With the wether reports it looks like the rain is going to hold off up here until later on that night. But this in New England and the weather can change in a second.

If I hear that the rain date has been activated I'll post it here.

we have cancelled our hotel rooms for tonight, and see tomorrow about coming out- we may get there, but coming home in the storm isn't something we're looking forward to

[Mofire24 27]

why mohegan is going up tonight just come up

[fitzjr11 17]

Chief says no- and we have all the jr's with us, so we will either be out sat or sun am- we may need a truck for midnight alarm though, can u help us out?- depending what mahopac does

[RocklandFires 44]

The 96th Annual Rockland County Volunteer Fireman's Association Parade for tomorrow in Suffern has been canceled. Unsure at this time if it will be rescheduled. I am sure the muster will be canceled for tomorrow as well. Might take a ride up if it is on Sunday !

[EJS1810 7]

Per the Engine 260 Hotline, the show goes on!

[fitzjr11 17]

Well think happy thoughts that it goes through, lake carmel is coming up in the am, pending no rain in CT and coming home as soon as it starts raining- hopefully things will be organized and everything will go quickly

It's gonna be cool doing baby climb in hurricane force winds. Good thing I foot the ladder so I don't have to worry about getting blown away.

what truck are you guys bringing up?

[stephen morea 1]

if they have the park also on sunday it would be half retarded to have it on saturday it is going to be beautiful on sunday no one is going to come on saturday with all the pump outs wires down trees down have it on sunday you are garunteed instead of a crap shoot

[SageVigiles 1,194]

The idea is to get most, if not all of the events done during the 7 hour window between the morning rain and the late afternoon/evening storm. Maybe it will work, maybe not. Guess we'll find out.

[fitzjr11 17]

Muster was sucessful- small turnout, but fun anyway

Mohegan- thanks for the hospitality Fri night

[RocklandFires 44]
