"NEWS!":
The Elgin Fire Department held their Open House Saturday, October 14th, from 10 am to 3 pm. Even with the threat of rain, a great crowd came by to support the Department. Our museum was asked to participate, and we set up a table with items from the Museum for people to look at, and items we offer to take donations. We also tried to have Fire Truck rides, but after the two runs we did, and the drenching rain that soaked us down, for safety's sake, we stopped the rides. We promise to try again next year! Thanks for coming out on a yucky day!!!
We are looking for Volunteers, if you are interested please contact
James at 224-588-2967. Thank You!
