The Huletts Landing Fire House was dedicated to Arthur Borin this past Saturday.
On Saturday, the Huletts Landing Volunteer Fire Department conducted dual events …”Santa comes to Huletts” and the “Re-dedication of the Firehouse” to the Company’s former President, the late Arthur (Art) Borin.
The Huletts Landing community was treated to an outstanding performance of “Santa” (played by one of HLVFD fire fighter members..John Colligan), who toured the Landing, on top of one of the Company’s fire trucks, heralding all of the children to come to the Fire House to personally visit with Santa plus sharing in games, goodies, face painting and lots more fun.
Obviously Santa’s invitation was well received as evidenced by the large turnout of happy faces that joined in the fun at the firehouse. Later during the activities the crowd was asked to join in the re-dedication ceremony conducted by HLVFD President, Luke Smith and Fire Chief Jay Vander Plaat in assisting Mrs. Carol Borin in uncovering the beautiful bronze plaque to her late husband’s memory. Mrs. Borin eloquently addressed the crowd thanking the Fire Company for this honor. Carol was accompanied by many members of the Borin family for the picture taking activities that followed, thus ending quite a remarkable day of both excitement and historical memory for our Huletts Landing families.
