Maybe you saw our upgraded UTV in the Memorial Day Parade. We recently purchased this 1000 cc unit which nicely carries our brush fire tank and pump with room for firemen too.

Just a short reminder for all of our friends that like chicken!
The Truxton Fire Department will be having a chicken barbecue on Memorial Day, starting at 11:00 am. The price for the chicken will be $10 per half. The Auxiliary will also be having a bake sale and there will also be two raffle baskets. Come visit Truxton for a taste of small town America.
The “Parade” is at 10:00 am with a ceremony at the cemetery honoring two of our oldest residents.
Hope to see you there!

As we prepare for Memorial Day, we would like to thank CNY Farm Supply and Adam Daley for selling us this excellent Stihl power washer.. We use the turbo nozzle a lot and the soap dispenser works well.

DID YOU KNOW? In NYS when you see a vehicle approaching with a BLUE or GREEN Flashing Light in your rear-view mirror it is a VOLUNTEER Firefighter or EMT responding to either a Fire or Ambulance Call. These personnel need to get to the firehouse/EMS station or to the scene as quickly as possible to render the service needed in a timely fashion. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS and when safe to do so, PULL OVER, STOP and LET THEM PASS. Someone is depending on their help and sometimes seconds really do count.
