Thank You for an Incredible Field Days
Now that we’ve had a little time to recover, catch up on some much-needed sleep, respond to 2 fires hours after clean up was finished, and truly take in everything that happened over the past week, we want to take a moment to say two very important words:
THANK YOU!
To everyone who supported our Field Days—we are truly grateful.
Thank you to everyone who came out, enjoyed the entertainment, shared a meal, grabbed a drink, participated in the activities, and helped make this event such a tremendous success. Your support means more to our department than we can put into words.
A special thank you to all of those who helped make the week possible, including:
• The incredible bands and entertainers
• Our parade participants
• The ride company
• Our line dancers
• The fireworks company and American Legion Post 1128 for helping sponsor the fireworks
• Everyone who donated toward the bicycle giveaway
• Those who donated baked goods and other items
• Our vendors, sponsors, supporters, and countless others who contributed in ways both big and small
And, of course, Friday night was absolutely incredible! The crowd was beyond anything we could have imagined. Seeing the field packed with people enjoying themselves and supporting our department was an incredible sight and something our members will not soon forget.
But our BIGGEST thank you goes to the volunteers.
Field Days does not happen by itself. It takes an incredible amount of time, effort, dedication, and sacrifice to put this event together—and we are fortunate to have some truly amazing people willing to step up and make it happen.
Thank you to the members of West Amboy Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. and Camden Volunteer Fire Department who came out and gave us a hand. Your willingness to help a neighboring department means more than you know. (Apologies if I missed any other FD members who helped)
Thank you to the many non-members and community volunteers who donated their time, whether it was for two hours, an entire day, or several days. You gave your time simply because you wanted to help, and we are incredibly grateful.
And most importantly, thank you to our own members and their families.
Our members sacrificed a week or more of their summer—one that is already quickly coming to an end—to prepare, work, clean, organize, cook, serve, maintain, and do everything necessary to make Field Days happen. Most gave days upon days of their time. Many worked long days, often after already putting in a full day at their regular job.
That kind of dedication is what makes a volunteer fire department special.
Field Days is more than just a fundraiser. It is a tremendous amount of work, sacrifice, teamwork, and community spirit.
The money raised during this event helps us continue providing the equipment, training, and resources necessary to protect our community. Every meal purchased, every drink bought, every donation made, and every person who came out to support us played a part in that mission.
To every person who helped, attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, performed, participated, or simply told someone else about our Field Days:
THANK YOU.
We are incredibly proud of our volunteers, incredibly grateful for our supporters, and incredibly fortunate to have a community that continues to stand behind us.
Without every one of you, Field Days would not be the success that it is.
From all of us at the Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🚒
We’ll see you next year!
📅 SAVE THE DATE — August 19, 20 & 21, 2027
We’ll see you on the field! 🚒🎆
