LIVE Update #4 - Parade and Fire Trucks

Watermelon Day is under way. After a few technical difficulties (needing bateries, thanks to the folks at Sparky's for their swift service), we got the Stanhope State camera up and going.

What beautiful weather! After a week of "Hotter than Fort Dodge" conditions, it was purfect weather for the parade. We spoke with Tilford Teig (one of the parade organizers) about the parade at the raffle stand. He was excited to see so many entries and an even bigger crowd for the parade this year. Now some highlights from the parade.

It's not a parade without fire trucks and this parade had a lot. Here's one of the rigs from "Stanhope's Bravest" the Stanhope Volunteer Fire and rescue. Lookin' sharp guys!

One of the other towns that entered a truck was this tanker courtesy of "Jewell's Bravest."

I think this was one of our favorite entries in the fire truck division. We talked about the recovery efforts in Stratford at this link: click here. Around here people never forget, and once again the Straford folks showed how classy they are by simply thanking all in area who help with the tornado clean up. Shout out to "Stratford's Bravest."
