CVFD celebrates Mardi Gras!

The CVFD's was one of several pieces of County fire apparatus to participate in the Clarendon neighborhood's Mardi Gras parade. On Tuesday, February 20, several members packed into Utility 103 or walked along the route in their turnout gear passing out beads to all those who came out for the festivities. Even with piles of snow and the
rain, the crowds were decent. Local businesses had some great floats.

Utility 103 was staffed by Marvin Binns and Mark Laskin. Dee Allen, Jack Baber, Mike Newman, Walter Coon and Chief Scott Pardi walked along the route and handed out over three cases of beads.

We had a great time, even with the rain, and we can't wait to participate again next year.
