AVFD fundraiser planned
By Sam Waller
The Albany Volunteer Fire Department has two fundraising projects in the works, including the return of its Burgers & Birds cookout.
The event is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3 at the fire station to celebrate the opening of dove season.
“We’ve done it in the past, and we got away from it because we didn’t have enough people in the event if we were dispatched out on a fire,” volunteer firefighter Alison Gardenhire said. “Our numbers are back up to where we can do the fundraiser even if we get called out.”
