🚒 WOW… NEWARK, YOU SHOWED UP! ❤️

How do we even begin to thank everyone for the incredible turnout at Cruisin’ Days today?!

Despite the drizzling rain that seemed determined to hang around all day, you came out anyway! We honestly never would have guessed we would have that many people show up with the weather we had, and we can’t tell you how much that meant to all of us at the Newark Fire Department.

From the car show, to the vendor booths, games, food, families, kids, and everyone who simply stopped by to spend some time with us—it was an AMAZING day!

Most importantly, you came out and supported your firefighters. Every plate of food purchased, every game played, every donation made, and every person who attended helps us continue purchasing and maintaining the equipment we depend on to serve and protect our community.

There are so many people who helped make today possible, and we know we could never name everyone in one post. But we want to give a special thank you to Laura Pixlar, Rhonda Bedrick, Dana Oatman, Darla Loggas Wood, Susie Youngblood and Regina Nash. The time, work, planning, and effort these ladies put into making Cruisin’ Days happen is incredible. We truly cannot thank them enough!

🌟 WE ALSO WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! 🌟

🥇 GOLD SPONSORS
• Going Green Heating & Air
• City of Newark

🥈 SILVER SPONSORS
• Atmos Energy

🍔 KITCHEN SPONSOR

Events like Cruisin’ Days simply would not be possible without businesses and organizations willing to step up and support their local fire department and community. Please help us show these sponsors some love and support the businesses that support us!

We also want to thank every vendor, car show participant, volunteer, firefighter, family member, and community member who played a part in today.

The weather may not have been perfect, but our community absolutely was. ❤️

Thank you for standing behind your volunteer firefighters. Thank you for supporting Newark Fire. And thank you for making Cruisin’ Days 2026 a day we won’t forget!

🚨 CRUISIN DAYS IS STILL ON! 🚨

We’re moving forward with ALL Cruisin Days events tomorrow — including the parade! 🚒🎉

Yes, there’s a chance of rain. We’ve watched more weather apps and forecasts than we can count, and at this point, we feel like it’s worth crossing our fingers, saying a little prayer, and hoping Mother Nature gives us a break! 🤞🌤️

If we wake up in the morning and it’s absolutely pouring, we’ll make that decision then. We know most of you will be looking out the window and making the same decision!

Either way, we’ll still have vendors and FOOD available, so please make plans to come out and support your Newark firefighters.

These men and women work long hours, nights, weekends, holidays, and everything in between serving our community. The money raised during Cruisin Days goes a LONG way toward purchasing new equipment and maintaining the equipment we already have — the same equipment our firefighters depend on when they’re called to protect you, your family, and your property.

So rain or shine, GET UP TOMORROW MORNING AND COME SEE US!

Get those cars and floats ready for the parade, bring the family, come hungry, visit our vendors, and help us make this the BUSIEST CRUISIN DAYS WE’VE EVER HAD! 🚒🔥

We can’t do what we do without the support of this community, and we hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Let’s pack Cruisin Days!

🌧️☀️ RAIN OR SHINE — NEWARK CRUISIN’ DAYS WILL GO ON! 🚒🔥

A little rain isn’t going to stop us! We’ll make it work one way or another!

Come out and join us for Newark Cruisin’ Days and help support the Newark Volunteer Fire Department!

The funds raised through Cruisin’ Days help us purchase and maintain the equipment, protective gear, tools, and supplies our volunteer firefighters need to respond when our community calls. Your support helps keep our trucks and equipment ready, puts needed gear in the hands of our volunteers, and helps us continue providing emergency services to Newark and the surrounding community.

Every meal purchased, every activity enjoyed, and every dollar donated makes a difference. 🚒❤️

So bring the family, invite your friends, and come spend the day with us. Rain or shine, we’re going to make it happen!

🔥 Support your volunteers. Support your fire department. Support your community. 🔥

Please SHARE and help us spread the word! We’ll see y’all at Cruisin’ Days!

🚒 WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY’S HELP! 🚒

Cruisin’ Days is coming up, and we are still looking for sponsors! Unfortunately, we’ve had very little response so far this year, and we could really use the support of our local businesses, families, and community partners.

Cruisin’ Days is one of our biggest fundraising opportunities of the year, and the money raised goes directly toward helping fund the Newark Volunteer Fire Department—equipment, training, protective gear, apparatus expenses, and the many other costs that come with keeping our firefighters ready to respond.

🔥 Sponsorship opportunities are still available:
Gold Sponsor — $3,000
Silver Sponsor — $2,000
Laser Tag Sponsor — $500
Game/Bounce House Sponsor — $100

Our Concessions Sponsorship has already been claimed, and we are extremely thankful for that support!

You don’t have to be a large company to make a difference. Every sponsorship and every donation helps. When the tones drop, our firefighters answer the call for our community. We’re asking our community to help us continue being ready when that call comes.

If your business, organization, family, or even a group of friends would like to sponsor Cruisin’ Days or make a donation, please reach out to us!

Please help us by SHARING this post. Sometimes the right person just needs to see it.
