Fire Fighters, friends, family and guests We are proud to announce the 29th Annual Michigan Firemen's Memorial Festival. Fire Chiefs, Fire Fighters, EMS and thousands of friends and family from all over the United States and Foreign countries will gather in September in memory of the valiant Fire Fighters who gave the supreme sacrifice of their lives while protecting their communities. This year we will begin our Festival at the Roscommon County Fire Training Grounds (formerly known as the Roscommon Fair Grounds) Thursday, September 18th with family night. There will be craft projects for the children, the kid's fire safety trailer will be available and there will be a project identification for kids. Free hot dogs and pop will be available beginning at 5 pm, and a magician will perform at 7 p.m. The BAR WILL NOT BE OPEN on Thursday night. On Friday, September 19th, there will be a full day of activities. We anticipate that all our arts, crafts, and fire vendors will have arrived and some demonstrations will be scheduled. There will also be free activities for children. The bar will need a badge to enter the building, beginning at 7:00 pm. Also at 7:00 p.m. Friday, we will again have our Bright Light Vehicle Showdown followed by a Light Parade. Saturday, September 20th at 9:00 am, we invite you to join with the Michigan State Firemen's Association at the Memorial site to pay tribute to all Fire Fighters. They will conduct the Annual Memorial Service and placing of memorial wreaths by Fire Fighter organizations, service clubs and others will also take place. Then at 11:00 am in downtown Roscommon, we will hold our annual Firemen's Parade of bands, floats and the largest display fire fighting and rescue equipment in Northern Michigan.
