Firemen’s Carnivals Were Popular Events in Cecil County

Posted on March 12, 2011 by admin

The annual volunteer firemen’s carnivals were popular summer events in Cecil County years ago.  Each summer, as the event moved from town to town, large crowds would turn out for an evening of fun and entertainment.  These two photos show the Singerly Fire Company carnival sometime in the 1950s.

    Generally held on the elementary school grounds, where the Health Dept. and Women’s Shelter are now located. On Fireworks night, we’d have to send firetrucks to Elkton Heights to look out for embers falling on the houses there.
