Over 180 people attended the Whiteford VFC annual banquet held at the fire station. The event emcee was Rusty Leftwich. Several members were recognized for the past year efforts and dedication. This year's highlights include the 1st. Chief's Life Saving Award & the induction of Chief Frank Krick into the Harford-Cecil Hall of Fame. The customary gag gifts were presented to several members. After the awards ceremony, the membership enjoyed the music & dance portion at the Whiteford American Legion Post 182.

A special thank you to Airville, Fallston, Kennett Square, & Leo (Red Lion) fire companies for standing-by and allowing the membership to enjoy the evening activities.
