MILFORD: The community got to get a look at the accomplishments of the Milford Recreation Association from the past few years on Sept. 23.

The MRA held a Celebration Day at the Milford Rec Hall complete with facepainting; speeches; booths; a slideshow video presentation; a bouncy castle; Lions Club BBQ; and an appearance by firefighters with Milford Vol. Fire.

People who were in attendance got to hear from the firefighters about what they do; why they do it; why they should join up; and a look at some of the gadgets they use.

For the kids, they got the chance to tour the trucks, see the equipment used, and play with the fire hose.

There was a variety of different looks from those doing the facepainting at Milford Rec. (Healey photo)

Speeches were given by Peter Giffen and Colleen Smith (look for those in separate stories).

The celebration was open to include all from the community, both young and old.
