It's time for the Wellsville VFD 3rd Annual Fireman's Homecoming. We old folks still call it the Fireman's Carnival. It's set to kick off at 5 P.M. Wednesday, June 2 and run through Saturday, June 5. Once again it will be held at the football practice field behind Nicholson Stadium at 20th St.
There will be live musical performances every evening. Amusement rides will be provided by Brown's Amusements. Rides will be available until 10 P.M. Wednesday & Thursday and until 11 o'clock Friday night. There will a cornhole contests Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. The Ohio Valley Fire Prevention Trailer will be on site Friday and available to tour. Every night is Wellsville Retired VFD retiree night.
Saturday will provide a full afternoon and evening of entertainment starting with the parade beginning at 4 P.M. There will be a 6 firemen tug-a-war and a barrel contest using fire hoses. The winning Fire Company gets bragging rights until next year. We assume there will be rides available but Jamie was too busy to provide us with details. Pyrotecnico will a provide a fire works display at 10:30 P.M. to close out the four day event. The volunteers will be holding a 50/50 raffle and will be selling chances on both a girl's & boy's bicycle. Winners will be drawn at 9 P.M. Saturday.
Proceeds go to support the Wellsville Volunteer Fire Department. Contact Jamie McMahon at 330-831-9061 with any questions. Advanced, discounted ride tickets are still available at the Fire Station, Gibby's Mini Mart, Center Pharmacy and T&T Exhaust.
