| Saturday, Pingree Grove & Countryside held its annual Open House, hosted by the PubEd Committee. This year, we opened up Station 1. The open house was a great success! We had free food, demonstrations, activities, handouts, and a lot of questions and answers, along with a great deal of fun. We want to thank our district residents for coming out to visit with us, all of our sponsors, the Public Education Committee, for all of their hard work for putting the open house together, and our personnel who took time to be here and showed how much they care for the department and our residents.
