Lawn party a success for fire department, a joy for residents
our apparatus, allowing us to view the same information in the field that dispatchers see at the 911 center. So not only do you have the initial installation cost, you also have that monthly subscription-based service fee for the Internet provided to that tablet.”
There’s a lot of joy in putting on the lawn party, Shank said.
“Getting to see community members, smiling and happy while they enjoy family time,” Shank said. “[It’s] an opportunity to participate in an event to support something greater than themselves.”
Several popular events happen at the lawn party. On the first day, it’s the kids’ tractor pedal pull. There’s also the
tractor pull, the fireman’s parade, and the antique car show, plus the antique car and the antique tractor parade. There is also a solemn part of the lawn party.
“Every year, we pause at 2:00 on Thursday for a moment of silence to remember individuals who have passed away since the last lawn party,” Shank said.

Shank is glad that the lawn party has been a success.
“Every year, more and more people travel longer distances to come and observe the antiques on display. And reminisce of decades gone by as they observe history in real time,” he said.
He is also glad for the hard work.
“Each year brings a unique challenge. Over the last several years, we’ve been putting energy into growing our veterans’ night on Wednesday night, and I think each year it grows,” he said.
Events that Shank wants to bring back for next year include the dunk tank and, if possible, pull tab bingo. It’s too early to tell what else the lawn party will include next year, other than what he called “infrastructure improvements.”
To get in touch with the fire department about 2026, either as a potential vendor or performer, email Lawnparty@bridgewaterfire.com.
“We are carefully evaluating numerous ideas and options for improvements, just like we do every year,” Shank said.
Oh, and who makes the best food at the lawn party?
“Not sure I can comment on that,” Shank said.
