On Saturday, October 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., meet the neighbors who serve our community at Leon County’s 27th Annual Volunteer Fire Truck Round-Up! This free family-friendly event will take place at Tom Brown Park by the dog park near Lake Leon and highlights the service and dedication of Leon County’s volunteer firefighters. Families can meet Leon County’s six volunteer fire departments, tour fire trucks, and take pictures with the firefighters and trucks. Come out and enjoy free food, music, and activities for kids, including a dunk tank with the volunteer firefighters, bounce houses, face painting, giveaways, and more.
At the event, the Jack Harron Leon County Volunteer Firefighter of the Year will be announced at 11 a.m. and the winner will be presented with a trophy from the Earl Bacon Insurance Agency, which has sponsored this event for the past 27 years.
