The Epworth Community Volunteer Firemen will hold their 70th Annual Firemen’s Picnic on Friday, July 13th at the Epworth Fire Station. There will be great food, cold refreshments, kid’s rides and activities as well as some wonderful local entertainment by Mark Zalaznik from 7P-10P. This family orientated event is the annual fund raising event that supports the operation of the volunteer fire department. We will have some music entertainment for the crowd and the children’s rides continue to be a crowd favorite. The main fund raising event has become the silent auction and we are in need of items. We are aware there are many worthy events and benefits competing for business and individual donations, so we appreciate anything you can do for us. The department has been relying on this benefit for the past 69 years to assist in funding operations of the fire department. Past auctions were successful due to the wonderful woodworking and other donations and of course the generous crowd in attendance bidding on the items. Please consider a tax deductible donation to the EFD.
