STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. - Head for the Stockbridge Train Station on Sunday, October 11th for the Antique Fire Apparatus Show featuring equipment representing two centuries. The event is sponsored by the Berkshire Chapter of SPAAMFAA, Antique Fire Apparatus Club of America and in cooperation with Jack Fitzpatick's Train Station.
The Station is located on Depot Street, off Route 7 South in Stockbridge. Hours are Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event is free of charge to the public and promises to be fun for the whole family. Food will be offered during show hours.
The Berkshire County Chapter of the Society for Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America is a national organization of volunteers who are dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of firefighting, and fire equipment. There are several regional chapters of SPAAMFAA throughout the country, including the Berkshire Chapter.
Throughout the year Berkshire Chapter members are busy participating in various parades and shows throughout Berkshire County and New England, sharing a living history experience with the public. Members also work together with hands-on restoration and maintenance/preservation projects of our many antiques.
Their membership is made up of people who share an interest in history, and especially the history of firefighting and fire equipment. While a majority of their members are affiliated in some way with local Fire Departments and/or own an antique truck of their own, this is not a requirement. All you need is interest in the subject.
