Big Money Drawing

It's time once again for the Skaneateles Fire Dept., Inc. Big Money Drawing! No more than 2,000 tickets will be sold, with final money prizes starting as low as the 23rd ticket. And don't forget, the earlier you purchase your ticket, the more opportunities you have to win the monthly drawing of $100!
Your money must be included with your ticket (and if by check, it must clear) before you are eligible. See any firefighter/corporate member for a ticket, stop by Station 1, or cut and paste the copy of the ticket below. Stop waiting for contests where the entire country submits a chance - do it now!

The Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is a 501c3 not for profit organization.

Labor Day

Traditionally, the Labor Day weekend holds a special place with our department as we use it for our primary fundraising activities. With most of the activities concentrated at the Austin Park Pavilion (also known as Old Allyn Arena, on the corner of Austin Street and Jordan Street), Sunday and Monday sees traditional firefighter contests such as pushball and sink-the-boat (the latter being the only competition on the north end of Skaneateles Lake, along Genesee Street).

Labor Day festivities also include live music both nights, carnival rides, food and games. The weekend concludes with the ever-popular parade at 1:00 p.m. and fireworks at 9:30 p.m. at Austin Park, a sign that the summer season has ended. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, participated, and took part in our Labor Day this year!


Donation Letters
 
The Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. sends out donation letter requests to various areas of the community. This is meant as a reminder to community members that the Department, by way of its non-profit corporation, purchases apparatus and other equipment primarily through donations and not through a direct tax. Donations, however, are always appreciated any day of the year!
