Now that the worst of Covid is behind us, the HPCC Board has been busy sponsoring, organizing, and participating in several activities:
• Roadside Clean-Up on May 12, 13 and 1
Left: Megan McCamy doing roadside cleanup
Right: Gwen, Megan- and Gus the dog
• Our first monthly BINGO Night was held on the second Thursday of May (May 12), followed by the second Thursdays of June, July, and August. It has been a slow beginning. The average attendance has been approximately 15 people; but as it becomes more widely known, we are hoping for better attendance. A large BINGO banner was installed at the firehall on Centerville Highway.
• A Firefighter Appreciation Pancake Breakfast was held on May 21. We presented Fire District #14 with a check from the proceeds to purchase logo jackets for each firefighter.
• Dumpster Days on June 3, 4 and 5. Three dumpsters were provided, one for yard waste and two for trash. It was very popular. The dumpsters went back stuffed to the top.
• Helped with clean-up at the firehall on Centerville Highway in preparation for the first Mini-Firehouse Sale.
• Mini-Firehouse Sale, held on June 3 and 4 as part of the Community Yard Sales Event – The first MFH sale at the old red firehall on Centerville Highway was a success. It brought in around $2,200. There will be another Mini Firehouse Sale on September 23 and 24. We will be asking for donations, so if you are getting rid of “stuff” we will take it off your hands. Dates and times will be sent out asking for items in good condition.
