After being rescheduled several times due to inclement weather, Trappe Days finally went off on Saturday, October 8th. Trappe Fire Company volunteers took Ladder 77 to Water Works park to participate in the festivities. Firefighters were able to show off the trucks and enjoyed showing the kids the equipment and gear used during fire calls. Another highlight was when the Eagles mascot, Swoop, joined a couple of the firefighters in climbing the ladder! Thanks to all those who came out and enjoyed the day.
