On the evening of September 11, 2011, many gathered at the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department for a “Salute to First Responders.” The event was hosted by Real Life Church of Mechanicsville and was held for the sole purpose of celebrating the first responders of our community. The evening started with an indoor ceremony followed by food, fun, and socialization with activities such as face painting, corn hole, a moon bounce, and sumo suit wrestling. In addition to honoring the first responders of the community, all money that was raised during the event is being donated back to the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department.
