Thank you to everyone who opened up their hearts and was able to donate to our Christmas Toy Drive. With your help we were able to collect 4 1/2 large boxes of toys, 3 bicycles and received $354.50 that to be used to purchase more toys. While shopping a Walmart associate donated $5 and Walmart donated $100, bringing the grand total to $459.50. All toys will go toward collection efforts by the Fulton County Salvation Army and will stay in Fulton and Montgomery counties.
We would like to extend our thanks to Meco Volunteer Fire Company for bringing over a fire truck and directing traffic and Empire Ambulance for attending and transporting the collected toys. Thank you Alexis Houser, Miss Erie Canal 2020, for helping collect toys and the Angus family of Bleecker for including King the festive miniature horse. Thank you also to Fulton County Area News and Front Page Gloversville for taking an active role in promoting this event.
Firefighters with the Pleasant Square Fire Company will host the county's drive-thru Christmas toy drop off from 9 am to 12 pm on Saturday December 5th, 2020. All are invited to visit the fire station to drop off new, unwrapped toys to help support this season's efforts by The Salvation Army of Fulton County, NY. All donations will stay within Fulton & Montgomery Counties. The need this season is greater than ever.
This event will follow all current CDC guidelines. All donations will receive commercial-grade sterilization by Quick Response of the Capital Region. Please stay in your vehicle and allow firefighters to assist you. Several emergency vehicles will be on display. Bring your family and help say thanks to our local emergency responders.
Last night Kate Phillips and Jason Vosburgh who were sworn in by our former Chief, current 2nd Assistant Chief Anthony Mendetta.
Are you interested in joining? Stop by any Monday around 7pm and talk one of our members.
A volunteer fire company has lately been organized to protect a northeastern section of the town of Johnstown. It will roughly include the area within a two-mile radius of the Talmadge Parsons farm. The firehouse has already been built on the west side of the extension of Easterly street. Attorney S. Edward Brown is the lawyer for this fire company, and he selected the name for it, Pleasant Square Fire company.
