Seeking Vendors
The Fire Company is seeking vendors who are interested in selling flea market items, crafts, jewelry, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Longaberger, art, birdhouses, Mary Kay, etc. – no prepared food vendors, please. All vendors must provide their own pop-up tent and/or tables for outside set up only. Interested vendors should call Tammy at 658-2924 or Shirley at 658-2893 to reserve a place now. The vendor fee is $25, which includes a ticket for a free barbecue. Cost for the barbecue alone is $10.
Toy Duck Derby
The Berlin Volunteer Fire Company invites the entire community to adopt toy duckies. Adopt a single duck for $5 or a duck pack (5 ducks) for $20. The ducks are yours to keep at the end of the race as a fun reminder of the Berlin Fire Company Community Day.
Ducks splash down at 1 pm at the Park Avenue bridge and race down river toward the finish line behind the Berlin Fire House. Once the ducks are launched, they are on their own.
Create a duck that reflects your personal style – be creative. Ducks are available that morning at the Fire House for decorating with waterproof markers. Or reserve a duck by calling Bruce at 658-2163.
Prizes will be awarded following the race.
