The Cridersville community stepping to help the fire department and have some fun too. This is the 57th year for the Cridersville Fireman’s Jamboree. The annual event kicked off Friday night with a great crowd and they are hoping that the crowd will be back Saturday to wrap up the jamboree. People could take part in Bingo for prizes Saturday afternoon and kids could jump around on the inflatables or take a pony ride. There was live music in the beer tent and games of chance for adults. The firefighters are happy to see the crowds come back year after year.
“There is no place where I would rather be,” says Fire Chief Rick Miller. “It is a great hometown. The town supports our department every year in everything we do. That’s what makes it great to live here.”
The proceeds from the Jamboree go for maintaining their building and help pay for equipment costs not covered by grants from the state.
