MFD Raffles Off Fire Themed Golf Car

On August 15th, the Mechanicville Fire Dept. raffled off a Fire Truck themed Golf Car courtesy of Jay Haney of Haney's Golf Cars.  This was the golf car featured in the Mardi Gras parade during the Hudson Mohawk Volunteer Firefighter's Association Convention in July.  Dr. George Amann was the lucky winner of this well designed and creative prize.  Congratulations George!
