MVFA held its annual Christmas dinner last Saturday at the Fire Station. This event goes back many years as possibly the longest running MVFA event – began by its founder Lois Pearson. As before, the dinner was a great place to see old friends, and meet new ones. Plus, Santa and his helper elves were here, spreading cheer for the kids.
Thanks to the board and staff of MVFA for the decorations and all the work they do in setting up for this event. Thanks and kudos are extended to Chief Rosevear and his great team of Fire Fighters for enabling this event to take place once more. Special thanks go out to Frank & Heidi Ethridge for preparing a fantastic holiday feast of turkey and ham, and all the trimmings, including his renown carrot soufflé and bread pudding. We’re pretty sure nobody went away hungry.
Historically, the MVFA Christmas dinner is an event where ALL residents could gather in the Christmas spirit. Families and kids would gather around Santa, and political differences are set aside. The dinner gives us the opportunity to realize that, no matter what may separate us, we’re still families, friends and neighbors.
