Hames Hollow Farm's Percheron Horse Fire  Hitch At The 128th Pennsylvania State Fire mans Association Parade In York PA 2007.

Like all that participated  in the PA Fireman's  parade our day started early for our percheron fire horse hitch with full dress inspection  at The York Fair Grounds.

There where 8 entries in our division of antique non motorize and our fire horses where ready to strut their stuff.

From inspection it was straight to staging and wait.

It was time for our fire horses to fall in to our slot . They've been hitched for over an hour and were ready to go.

Fire horses were a big part of Yorks firefighting history. So it was out the York fair grounds and down to Market Street.

We passed the Old Royal Fire House, which now houses the York County Fire Museum ,and is where I staged from for my first fire parade back in the late "1980s". It was great to be home.

Stopped at the Vigilant fire house for some pictures.

We passed the Old York Court House which housed the continental congress for a week during the revolutionary war. Thous making York capital for a week.

Next we passed the Plough Tavern and Gates House . It was just a few blocks and we where in Yorks Colonial Square and the reviewing stand. Conni and I again thank LeRoy Naugle and His wife for the great photo record and all the rest that help us this year.

Again we where all rewarded for our efforts with a first place win for the Malvern Fire Company!
