About the event

Join us for a full day of fun! Firetrucks, vintage cars, tractors, LifeFlight helicopter landing, children's activities and community partners will all be on deck that day. This year, we are excited to incorporate SPAAMFAA convention attendees as well. SPAAMFAA is a diverse organization of firefighting enthusiasts who share a passion for new and antique fire apparatus, and the history and traditions of the fire service. Members include men and women; children and adults; firefighters, retired firefighters, never-been firefighters, and wanna-be firefighters (Fire Explorers). We have photographers, collectors, historians, and fire buffs. Some members own antique fire apparatus, while many others do not. Some document fires and fire apparatus though photography, while still others collect books, patches, toys and models, and all manner of firefighting memorabilia.
