Enjoying the first responders' BBQ

Last Saturday, Pine Haven's Over the Hill Gang and the Pine Haven Fire Auxiliary celebrated first responders and their families with a barbecue lunch and a program to honor these valiant volunteers.

Of the 59 guests who attended, 20 were first responders and, as each arrived, they were given a thank you card with a surprise coin inside. The coins given to the volunteers were designed specifically for the first responders and were provided to be a memory of these special moments, a specific fire coin for fire fighters and all-branches coin for others.

This is the second year the event organizer...
