Our event’s calendar is bursting with ideas for this weekend, between farmers’ markets* and local theater productions there is plenty to do, but we have our heart set one fantastic fundraiser.
Fire engine enthusiast unite at the 5th Annual Adam Myers Day Memorial Fundraiser at the Middlebury Rec Park this Saturday morning! From 10 to 12, the fire department will put on a “mini-muster,” which is a child-sized version of firefighter sports and competition; think of a sort of field-days for firefighters. The Middlebury Fire Department will bring LOTS of fire trucks – last year they even brought a fire rescue boat, yummy snacks, and a bunch of fun games including the ever-popular foam pit. This fun day is hosted by the Middlebury Fire Department in honor of their fellow volunteer Adam Myers. Adam died tragically in a car crash that thankfully spared the lives of his wife and two young sons. Each year the community celebrates the life of Adam with a weekend long event at Two Brothers Tavern to help raise money for the men and women of the MFD who risk their lives to save others, to learn more click here.
If you plan to attend here’s our MiniBury tip: Bring a bathing suit or clothing you don’t mind getting messy for the foam pit, plus a change of clothing for after.
