Thanks to Casa Di Amici for providing our personnel with lunch today! We'd also like to thank Azul, Town Kitchen Provisions, El Cazador, and the Ole Liberty Station for providing us take-out meals over the past couple of weeks as well as we too practice social distancing. We know that many families are experiencing a financial strain during this COVID-19 pandemic but we encourage those who are able to continue to support our local restaurants as they too suffer through these trying times. ...

Over the course of thirty years he rose through the ranks and was eventually appointed to Chief of Department on January 1, 2007. Pictured below in a long coat, 3/4 boots, and red ball gloves is FF Stevens at a working fire in 1976. #salty ... See MoreSee Less

#TBT Taken from the minutes of the March 26, 1954 business meeting - "Chief Turner stated that he had ordered sixty (60) dozen brooms from the Bedford Grocery Company to be sold during Clean-up Week, he stated he thought it would be a good thing to have a broom sale each year during the clean-up week." Pictured are Moorman Musgrove, Clyde Lipscomb, Pint Cundiff, Carlton Thomas, John Turner, Malcom Deacon and Harold Stevens. ... See MoreSee Less

"Guaranteed to fit your hand!"

Being the mascot,I got to go house to house and sell the brooms.No one would turn you down because it was for a great cause and they were good brooms.I think they were $1.50 and later went to $2.00 a broom.Special childhood memories. Thanks,Cuz!

It was always exciting to see them pull in the driveway during the broom sale time.

The Bedford Lions Club sells brooms. Not sure if all the time or not but they were set up at Liberty Middle School during the Bedford Womens Club Craft show. Looked like good brooms!

I used to buy one every year. Great brooms for a great cause! 🧹

Thank you so much for posting this, we were talking about him yesterday and how much I missed his calls...:-(
