This activity affords a unique opportunity to display the skills of our Volunteer Fire Fighters, and at the same time allows a perfect setting for friendly competition between the area’s volunteer departments. We have scheduled this function for Saturday, July 11, 2015 in a parking lot at Holston Army Ammunition Plant, BAE Systems, Inc. in Kingsport. Teams will consist of four members, so your department may wish to enter more than one team. Members can only participate on one team, and you must remain on the same team throughout the competition. This event is designed for fun, so we are open to your ideas and suggestions. If your department would like to provide a display booth for specialized equipment or fire prevention information, let us know and we will work with you to include this activity. We are not allowed to sell any items during this event, including refreshments. The Fun Fest Committee will provide a concession stand for your convenience. Carefully review the enclosed brochure, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact any of the committee members listed below.
