Carmine VFD
The Carmine Volunteer Fire Department appreciates that the community is obeying the burn ban in Fayette County.
They are also very thankful for the contributions that have been received, since the Firemen’s Feast and Fundraiser was cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The addition of two bays to the fire station have been completed.
The Aug. 27 regular meeting is still pending.
The August drill night has been cancelled.
Casino Night
The Carmine Chamber of Commerce Casino night is planned for Oct. 10. It is normally held in Aug., but the chamber voted to reschedule due to COVID-19.
The Chamber also has tee shirts and hats for sale. Both items are a great way to offer support for our “little city with a big heart.”
