The menu will include “Cornell Chicken” halves; the Duke’s baked beans, Hinerwadel’s salt potatoes, and a Roma roll for $10. Pickup or home delivery.

The team races in timed events where firefighters test their skills. Teams of five members must connect nozzles to hoses, hoses to hoses, and hoses to the fire hydrant, and knock down targets in the quickest time in the ladder, wye, and straight lay competitions. Hose races improve basic firefighting skills.
Owego will host the 127th Annual Central New York Firemen’s Association Convention next July.
