MILFORD:<\/strong> The community got to get a look at the accomplishments of the Milford Recreation Association from the past few years on Sept. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MRA held a Celebration Day at the Milford Rec Hall complete with facepainting; speeches; booths; a slideshow video presentation; a bouncy castle; Lions Club BBQ; and an appearance by firefighters with Milford Vol. Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who were in attendance got to hear from the firefighters about what they do; why they do it; why they should join up; and a look at some of the gadgets they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the kids, they got the chance to tour the trucks, see the equipment used, and play with the fire hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
