Due to the past rains, Mayor Charlie’s second birthday party had to be rescheduled to last Saturday. He had a Firehouse Birthday Party which included a bouncy house, hayride, swimming, Grill Sargent hot dogs and music. Several of the WHCVFD were present; Chief and Susie, Travis and Little Red, Jason and Kimberlee, Chucky and me and of course, Charlie’s parents. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
