Was there a hobby shop nearby?

Grew up running the bays and pretending to drive all the trucks. Good times

Such a cool throwback!

Old Eng 3 was the first fire truck I ever rode in as a kid. I also worked in the food tent busing tables during the annual bazaar for a couple of years. Lots of great memories.
