🎉🌱 A Fresh Year Ahead! 🌱🎉

Join us this Saturday as we celebrate another year of The Downtown Market!

What started as a simple idea to connect our community with local growers, makers, and producers has grown into a Saturday morning tradition that continues to bring people together week after week. We are incredibly grateful for every vendor, customer, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who has helped make this market what it is today.

Come celebrate with us as we kick off another fresh year ahead and enjoy a great morning filled with local food, fresh produce, handmade goods, sweet treats, and community connections.

Engine 1 took advantage of some downtime while cleaning and organizing compartments to review some vital, but less frequently used, equipment. Staying proficient with every tool on the apparatus is essential to ensuring a safe and effective response when the need arises. Continuous training and familiarization help keep our crew prepared for any situation, no matter how often the equipment is used. Commitment to readiness is what keeps Engine 1 ready to serve our community at a moment’s notice. 🚒💪
