The Warren County Junior Firefighter Competition weekend begins with the complimentary Friday Evening Dinner & Social at the Warrenton Rural Volunteer Fire Department. The Dinner & Social 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 years. 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. |
