| The officers and members of the Union Bridge Fire Company would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Flood Zone Brewery & Marketplace for hosting another incredible Anchored Mini Boat Parade. The 7th Annual event was an overwhelming success, once again bringing our community together in support of two volunteer fire departments and raising more than $32,000. We are honored to have received $16,000, which will directly support firefighter training, lifesaving equipment, apparatus maintenance, and the resources needed to continue serving our community safely and effectively.
What began as a unique community event has grown into a beloved tradition that showcases the very best of our small towns, neighbors supporting neighbors, local businesses giving back, and countless volunteers working together for a common cause. The generosity and vision of the Flood Zone Brewery & Marketplace family continue to make this event one of the highlights of the year, and we are incredibly thankful for everything they do to make it possible.
To every boat captain and crew, sponsor, donor, volunteer, voter, attendee, and supporter: thank you. The creativity, dedication, and countless hours invested in each boat, every fundraiser, and every event throughout Boat Week are truly inspiring. Your support goes far beyond a fun week of competition; it helps ensure that our volunteer firefighters have the tools, training, and equipment necessary to answer the call whenever someone needs us.
A special thank you goes out to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, from organizing events and coordinating logistics to preparing food, serving drinks, and welcoming thousands of visitors throughout the week. Your hard work often goes unseen, but it is the foundation that makes this event such an incredible success year after year.
Congratulations to the New Windsor Fire & Hose Company on bringing the Agnes Cup back home this year! The friendly rivalry between our departments is all in good fun, but the true victory is the impact this event has on both of our organizations and the communities we proudly serve.
On behalf of the officers and members of the Union Bridge Fire Company, thank you to Flood Zone Brewery & Marketplace, our community partners, and everyone who played a part in making the 7th Annual Anchored Mini Boat Parade, another unforgettable success. Your continued generosity, support, and belief in volunteer fire service make a lasting difference, and we are honored to stand alongside such an amazing community. We look forward to many more years of celebrating this incredible tradition together. |
