I spent many many summers growing up at these musters ! Dad and Mom would pack the car and the whole Rhinebeck fire dept would head out with our handtub Pocahontas ! Just great memories !!

There may have been similar events, but non quite like Kensico with the enormous lawn and the dam as a background and a perfect spillway for drafting.

The flea market of 'stuff' was terrific and the competitions were great on so many levels.

I was very active in the 70's and 80's, not so much in the 90's, came back in 20's when the next generation of my family were just coming into firefighting. I enjoyed participating in their learning, but I have to say, that in as much as firefighting has always been serious and dangerous, the changes in the last 20 years took most of the 'fun' out of it.

Those that remember the Kensico days will know what I mean. It isn't the same, it won't ever be the same again, that's just the way it goes.
