Delaware Volunteer Firefighter’s Association Annual Parade
Hello Friends and Happy Monday, I hope you all had a nice weekend and that the weather was just as nice where you were as it was here in Delaware. Saturday before leaving Dover my sons and I drove through downtown and noticed a large gathering on The Green. Unfortunately, we had just missed the annual parade of The Delaware Volunteer Firefighter’s Association but I stopped to take pictures of some of the trucks and engines which were prominently on display.
Volunteer Fire Companies from around the state participated and vied for the coveted Governor’s Cup which was awarded to Smyrna’s Citizens Hose Company for the 34th year.
Families and friends enjoyed themselves, eating, drinking, and playing while a DJ played a variety of music to keep everyone entertained before the awards ceremony.
This traditional family friendly festival is just one of many events held annually in the Capital City of Dover.
I see somebody was out with the new camera 🙂 Looks like it was a lot of fun.
So how did I do?
Pretty good! Just watch out for reflections (I saw somebodies legs in plaid shorts in one image. It happens to me too if not paying attention) and make sure light isn’t washing out the subject.
Hey…that was my sexy leg!
Oh I love a parade…love love love a parade….
Me too and was a bit upset that we missed it – but glad I got a chance to see the trucks and engines.
Wonderful shots!
Thank you my dear – a wonderful compliment coming from you!
Firefighters are such heroes, they deserve a parade!
Yes, they definitely do and well deserved. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment.
Yes!
My boys have always loved Fire Truck parades. There’s a big one not far from where we used to live, and my oldest son still talks about it 10 years later.
This was the first time – it was great. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Fabulous!! They deserve 100 parades!!
Yes, they do!
