NHVFD quilting ladies Sue Tucker and Gloria Eanes are shown with the “Compass in the Cabin” prize quilt — all part of the day’s fun, along with music, food, games for the kids and much more. Raffle tickets are $1 each and can be purchased the day of the event. The winner does not need be present to win, and will be notified. The NHVFD Marathon is the year’s largest fund raiser for the fire department.

Volunteers prepare a mass mailing to 2,000 patrons and friends.
