They'll be hosting a Fire Muster in Littleton on June 13. I stopped into a fire muster years ago, during Littleton's annual Western Welcome Week, when walking Mandy with Ken, and it was a lot of fun to see the old and new fire engines and other apparatus. The kids absolutely loved running around under the high water sprays in their bathing suits. Some of those old fire engines are being kept in gorgeous condition.
Fun fact: The first recorded fire muster occurred in 1849 in Bath, Maine, involving five hand-powered pumps, or "hand tubs". While that historic town of Bath holds a very chaotic, bittersweet memory in my own life, it eventually became a favorite travel spot for Jennefer and me. But if you want to experience a piece of that 1849 tradition closer to home, head down to ACC this weekend!
