Ayr Days was so much fun for Mount Ayr Fire. We are always so thankful for the community support we receive. We want to thank everyone who showed up to the water fights. The firemen love this as much as the kids. And thank you to everyone who played Bingo with us tonight! The turnout was so appreciated. We would also like to thank Brent Ricker, Ricker Heating and Air Conditioning for sweetening the pot on our last game of the night. We hope everyone enjoyed the evening, and had a wonderful Ayr Days. Thank you to the Chamber for all the hard work they put into this celebration.

This weekend, we had members of the Mt Ayr Volunteer Fire Department and Ember’s complete CERT Training. It was a weekend spent learning how we can be of assistance in community emergency situations and response. We highly encourage anyone interested in emergency response, or just wanting to learn more about how to better prepare yourself and your family, to take the class and be a part of this reformed group! Thanks to Ringgold County Emergency Management for organizing!
