Jeffersonville FD Celebrates 125 Years

I love a parade. On Saturday, our volunteer fire department celebrated 125 years of fire, smoke and pancake breakfasts. We watched as dozens of fire trucks from J-ville and the surrounding area, wended their way through crowd-lined Main Street. Antique cars came next which seemed to be a bigger hit than the trucks. My favorite was the Infantry Regiment carrying muskets and wearing clothes of the period.

Why does this '50's antique look better than me?

Retired and in good shape

When Johnny comes marching home




The Shriners drove through in an old jalopy followed by a number of brothers on small motorized vehicles. One Shriner went rogue and crashed into the garden at the beginning of Main Street nearly slamming into 2 boys who jumped out of the way. Do Shriners drink?

Shriners and their cool hats
