Friend and fellow DJ Tommy Donovan with Flat Rat Adventures will take Powell\u2019s place at the party.&nbsp;Donovan will be spinning your favorite tunes of today and yesterday with a focus of Bob Powell favorites such as the Don McLean classic, American Pie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other attractions at the block party include Firehouse Subs who will have their mobile fire food truck on hand serving firefighter themed hot subs and sides.&nbsp; Youth hose races will take place with garden hoses for children of all ages.&nbsp;The Broome County Firefighters Association Safety Trailer will be onsite in addition to bounce houses courtesy of VFW Post #1371.&nbsp;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Talcott Street will be closed from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. between McMaster and Spruce Streets on July 9 to accommodate the festivities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The family friendly block party, which is children themed, is open to the public.&nbsp; Members of the Central New York Firemen\u2019s Association will hold their \u201cOld Timers &#8211; Newcomers Awards\u201d presentations at the party.&nbsp;The Central NY Fire Convention is in Owego July 8 through July 11.
