Carmine VFD Serves Over 2,100 Fried Chicken Plates

The Carmine Volunteer Fire Department’s annual Fundraiser held July 16 was a great success. Over 2,100 plates of fried chicken were served. They also sold over 1,600 tickets for the drawing.

The firemen appreciate all the support they received by those who helped plan the event, prepare the meal, set up for the serving line, bought meals and tickets, and supported it in any other way.
