February 23, 2008 will mark the 105th time Protection Engine Company of Fishkill, NY has served this Annual Event.

In 1904, Protection Engine Company was reorganized from Eureka Engine Company and one of the methods the organizers used to raise funds for Protection Engine Company was to sponsor a yearly dinner prepared by the members and their families for the community. In the beginning ham and turkey was served with all the trimmings at Van Wyck Hall on Main Street in the Village of Fishkill because the Fire House on Robinson Street was too small to accommodate such a dinner. The tradition of home cooking with all the trimmings, served family style, moved in the 1940’s with the Company to a new Fire Station at 1132 Main Street and has continued for over 100 years.

Please join Protection Engine Company’s Officers, Members and their families for a hardy meal on Saturday, February 23, 2008.
