LOL. If you have something for the house that says "do not apply if rain is possible within 24 hours" Do not plan on using during Montrose's Carnival and Parade week. lol

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

I can just imagine what CFD320 will look like "with bells on" at a rainy day parade.

POW! =D>

[CFD320 35]

I would look llonger and more girthy than you.

BAM!!!

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

Is that a good thing?

[CFD320 35]

I guess postmaster you claim to be huge

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

By the way, if anyone wants BIG BUCKS tickets I'll have them at Summerfest. Anyone comming?

IT DIDN'T RAIN!!!!! =D>

Best Regulation - Croton

Best Non-Regulation - Putnam Valley (?)

Best Overall Apparatus - Croton TL44

Best Engine - Croton E119

Best Rescue - Croton R18

Best Aerial - Verplanck TL46 / Snorkel 1

Best Antique - Mahopac

I couldn't hear the rest from where I was. Congrats to all!

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

Giving out umbrellas (instead of plaques after the parade) was the best! =D>

[BFD1054 1,552]

Yes, this years Montrose parade was definately a success, especially because it didn't rain! As CFDFASTleader said, giving out umbrellas to the chiefs was probably the funniest part of the day! I just wanted to say that i personally had a great time, and all the departments, VAC's & bands looked/sounded great as usual! Congrats to all the trophy winners, they were all well deserved! I do have to add that we (Buchanan), took home 2nd Best Engine for E-161 (1998 Sutphen). It wasn't #1, but we'll take 2nd anyday lol! Washington Engine by far deserved Best Engine for E-119, that is such a great truck. Its a 1984 Mack...enough said, there is no comparison!

[Guest alsfirefighter]

Well it looks like Montrose did well to secure their future trophy seasons as well, let me guess..hmmm:

Mahopac Parade: Best overall Montrose

Ossining Parade: Best overall Montrose

Croton Parade: Best overall Montrose

"E119 looked great" doesn't it always, that's all Muns does it clean that thing, what else does he do?

LOL. Kidding (to a point) Montrose always looks their best, but it never hurts to spread the trophies to locals and the ones you want back......

[CFD320 35]

WOW! Muns I hope you give these guys the courtesy of a reach around!! Maybe 119 will win inspection this year, you think?

[CFD320 35]

I think swanky is going to propose to E119, John can be the best man...

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

Is als implying that the judging is fixed?

[Guest alsfirefighter]

Who will be the ring bearer?

Trophies fixed? Me? No way, its all fair :roll: I mean I'm sure its just coincidence how it works out sometimes. lol

[TRUCK6018 50]

I mean I'm sure its just coincidence how it works out sometimes.

Of course it's just a coincidence that the same departments win the same parades year after year. Expecially the times the department in question doesn't even march!

And yes, I have seen departments win trophies that didn't march in certain parades.

[Guest alsfirefighter]

Now thats awesome...lol..thanks bro I needed a good laugh.

[Guest CFDFASTleader]

We get their trophies, but not the tones.
