Rededication events are planned for Saturday, Aug. 24. Saturday kicks off with a ceremony at the fountain site in the Court House Square at 9 a.m. A grand firefighter\u2019s parade downtown is scheduled (permit pending) for 10:30 a.m. A firematic hose race will take place on lower Front Street starting at noon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day\u2019s events conclude at the Rainbow Trail with music by The Gents starting at 5 p.m.\u00a0More information on the Saturday events can be found at www.owegohoseteams.com\/baker-firemans-fountain-rededication-ceremony\/<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on the Baker Fireman\u2019s Fountain site continued this week with J.O.C. Construction, SDC Concrete, Roy Legursky of Legursky & Sons, and members of the hose team prepping the site for the stamped Maltese Cross pour that will take place the week of July 8. Stamped concrete in the shape of a Maltese Cross, the worldwide symbol of the fire service, will surround the fountain honoring Owego\u2019s five Fallen Firefighters. Hulslander Concrete anticipates their work on the stamped concrete to last a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the concrete work, Good Earth Landscaping will be onsite completing the project brickwork. A brick walk around will surround the fountain with four 1,000-pound stone benches to be placed so visitors may sit and enjoy the fountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A memorial modeled after the Walk of Honor at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Md. will also be put down from Main Street to the fountain. The same brick type used at the Emmitsburg Memorial from Glen Gery Bricks is being used in Owego. A total of 541 inscribed bricks have been sold for the memorial walkway to date. Brick sales will continue indefinitely. The hose team anticipates the project\u2019s completion in late July, barring any unforeseen issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
