The Tumwater Fire Department was proud to join other local first responders to salute our military at this year’s Foofaraw Military Appreciation Day.

Sponsored by the Thurston County Chamber, the annual event is free for military personnel and is held the first Friday after Labor Day. Participants meet at the Olympia Yacht Club and embark on boats to an island for a day of socializing, athletic games, barbecued salmon, and more.

Foofaraw was started in 1962 by John W. “Bill” Johnson as a way for the Thurston County Chamber to build relationships with the military at Fort Lewis, Madigan Army Hospital, and McChord Air Force Base.
