As The Monitor chronicled, the Edinburg Volunteer Fire Department did their part in the week long centennial celebration for the City of Edinburg. There were hundreds of people in attendance who enjoyed free hotdogs, ice cream and as much cake as their hearts desired. Here are photos of the largest cake I have ever seen. You will notice the cake goes around the entire table. A young firemen climbed a ladder to take the photo below.
It was also the beginning of fire prevention week and law enforcement came out to participate in the event by taking the opportunity to advocate for public safety. They also autographed posters that we had specially made with an Edinburg fire truck memorializing the centennial.
The Monitor newspaper made note of the colorful history of our county and the creation of Edinburg. It also made note of the special family tie that I have to this event. Great grandfather Alamia would be proud to know that we continue to endure in this community 100 years after the bold midnight adventure that began our city. The future is ours and the history that will be remembered in a hundred years will be determined by our life stories. Let's make it a good one.
