Pumpkin Hook Carnival- Official

Dear Farmington Community: On behalf of the Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., it is with deep regret that I announce that, once again, we have to can...cel our annual carnival fundraiser event and parade, slated for the first weekend of August 2021. The many rules and restrictions we would have to follow make it beyond the scope that we can achieve in our small space. Restrictions may further ease in the next couple months, but we would have to know now to be able to continue our planning. Unfortunately, this aligns with most all of the carnival-style events being canceled in our area throughout the summer. We will, however, continue last year’s tradition of holding a drive-through chicken bar-b-q on the carnival grounds on Saturday, August 7th, starting at noon, as our 73rd annual event. Because we sold out very early last year (thank you!) we plan to add 200 more dinners to our preparations. Cost will be $12 and will include chicken, cole slaw, salt potatoes, roll & butter. The ladies’ fried dough will also be available for your sweet tooth. Who knows what else we may be able to present? Presale tickets will be on sale soon. Keep your eyes on our Pumpkin Hook Carnival-Official Facebook Page! We continue to look forward to bringing back our carnival event next year, to celebrate our 74th anniversary of the fire association and carnival the first week of August 2022. We know that our event is a staple to the Farmington community and this will be the unprecedented second time it’s been canceled in its 73-year history. Since the carnival is our largest fund-raising event for our association, we hope that you would please consider donating to the Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., during our upcoming annual fund drive. The Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., continues to be 100% volunteer. The association is always looking for new members to assist with serving the residents we protect, and applications can be found on our website at farmingtonfd.org. As a community we will continue to work through this together and will be eager to see everyone again for the 2022 Pumpkin Hook Fire Department Carnival. Sincerely, Mr. Scott Parker, Carnival Chair Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc.

Save the Dates!

Dear Farmington Community, The Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., has carefully reviewed the decision regarding hosting the 2020 Pumpkin Hook Fireman's Carnival. We regret to inform you that we are canceling most of the carnival and parade this year slated to be held July 30th through August 1st. The health and safety of our residents and surrounding communities continue to be our biggest priority and we feel that this is in the best interest for everyone. We know... that our event is a staple to the Farmington community and this will be the first time it’s been canceled in its 72-year history. Since the carnival is a substantial fund-raising event for our department, we hope that you would please consider donating to the Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., during our upcoming annual fund drive. Please note: We will still have the chicken bar-b-q on Saturday, August 1st, at the carnival grounds, noon until it’s sold out! It will be drive-through style at the very least. We hope to have take-out beer as an additional option. As more details are clarified, we’ll post them on our Pumpkin Hook Carnival-Official Facebook Page. The Farmington Volunteer Fire Association, Inc., continues to be 100% volunteer. The department is always looking for new members to assist with serving the residents we protect and applications can be found on our website at farmingtonfd.org As a community we will get through this together and will be eager to see everyone again for the 2021 Pumpkin Hook Fire Department Carnival.
