The Southern Door Fire Department debuted its new fire truck at their annual picnic, and used help from concession sales and auctions and raffles to help outfit the truck with all the bells and whistles.
The all-day festivities began at 11 am, as a parade through the main streets of Forestville kicked off the day. Many people who attended the picnic said they were happy that the event returned after a long hiatus was broken the past couple years. One event that was brand new to the picnic was a cornhole tournament. The fourteen-team bracket kept the fun going until the raffles and auctions were completed and set to be announced.
Even though the day was warm, families were still able to enjoy their time at the picnic with different activities that were kid-friendly. Earlier in the day, the Southern Door Fire Department was giving kids and families tours of the new truck that arrived just on time for the picnic.
