Warrenton, North Carolina is the location of the Friday Evening Dinner & Social and the Saturday Field Competition. Historic Town of Warrenton is located on US 401 Highway (Main Street). Warrenton is a little over 1 square mile with a population of 821; 90% of its buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Weather in Warrenton in April has a median temperature of 74° high/44° low, with a chance of April showers. So, dress appropriately. Based on this winter's weather I'd prepare for cooler temperatures.

The Warren County Junior Firefighter Competition weekend begins with the Friday Evening Dinner & Social at the Warrenton Rural Volunteer Fire Department. The complimentary Dinner is for all registered competition teams and is included with the team registration fee.
The Social is a casual get-together for youths, advisors, and parents to meet outside of the competition arena, make new friends, and network. Many of the junior firefighters look forward to the Social to see "old friends" from previous Competitions. The dinner is catered by a local restaurateur. The evening includes a live deejay, music, dancing, games, and more! The Social shuts down early so everyone can get a good night's rest for Saturday's Competition. |
