St. Marys Firefighter's Breakfast returns May 7, 2023

The St. Marys Firefighter’s breakfast is back for the first time since 2019!

This year’s breakfast is happening on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at the Fire Hall from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Parking is available in the DCVI lot.

The cost is $10 per adult or $5 per child aged five to 12. Children under age five eat for free. Breakfast will include sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, potatoes, milk, toast, juice, coffee, and tea.

The breakfast is always held the Sunday before Mother’s Day and is one of the Fire Department’s major fundraisers. Proceeds from the event will be put towards the fight against Muscular Dystrophy.

“This breakfast has become a beloved local tradition,” says Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Edwards. “The firefighters start planning this event several months in advance to make sure it is a success.”

“In the past, we’ve seen as many as 1,100 people attend,” says Fire Chief Richard “Andy” Anderson. “Along with being a fundraiser, we also use the breakfast as an opportunity to talk fire prevention and promote fire safety. It’s a chance for us to remind our residents about the importance of smoke alarms and CO detectors.”

Those attending can meet the firefighters, explore the Fire Hall and view a display of fire trucks and rescue equipment. Sparky the Fire dog will also be on hand.
