The Engine, Tower and Mini-Pumper headed to Colonial Beach for their annual parade. The thing that most people like about the Colonial Beach parade is that it is a noisy parade. Once the crews arrived at Colonial Beach, some last minute touch ups were done to the apparatus. The apparatus goes through an inspection and the crew is asked questions about the appartatus and general firefighter knowledge. Once all apparatus was judged and all the questions were asked, the parade got underway. After the parade finished up the crew enjoyed the carnival activities. Even though no awards were recieved fun was had by all. Thanks to all those who helped with getting the apparatus ready for the parade.
