On Saturday, November 26, the Grafton Volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary, with Santa Claus in attendance for the kids, held their final monthly breakfast. The breakfasts, held at the Grafton Fire Hall, were a tradition on the last Saturday of each month for over a decade. Over the years the breakfasts became an event that the community really looked forward to, somewhat of a meeting place for those in and outside of the Grafton community.
Organizers and volunteers within the Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary did all they could to continue the monthly tradition, but food costs, and inflation in general, just became too much to allow them to do so.
On a positive note, the door has been left open to possibly resume the breakfasts at some point in the future. But for now, let’s take a moment to reflect, and thank Chief Goyer, the Fire Department, Rescue Squad, and Ladies Auxiliary for not only making the monthly breakfasts the success they were, but also for allowing us to feel safe in our homes while they brave the elements, at all hours, to answer our calls.
