Eastern Shore (Virginia) Editorial

 Perhaps you may have observed that when most Eastern Shore of Virginians refer to "The Eastern Shore" they're not referring to the Delmarva peninsula but specifically to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. 

With that in mind- in this week's Eastern Shore Post, (Virginia) the editor gives his take on "Updating the Eastern Shore Racial Relations Scorecard."

Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Company2023 Open House & 1923 American LaFrance 100th Birthday

This event is RAIN OR SHINE!  Most of our displays & exhibits are indoors. 

The car show will be called on Friday. In the event of a cancelation due to rain, the car show will be rescheduled. 

The Chicken BBQ has been rescheduled for Saturday October 21st with dinners serving at 11am. We are still planning to offer food & drinks at the open house on the 14th. 

Instead of a fire extinguisher prop - the fire marshal's office will have their fire safety trailer available for us (it will be indoors)

We will make a determination on pumping the 1923 on the day of the event based on conditions.
