The chocolate milk pop was Yahoo and I think they still make it.

Loved going to them. They always had big metal tubs with that smoking dry ice and lots of bottles of pop and the best chocolate milk soda. I don't think they even make that anymore. But we kids used to fight over that milk pop.

Should we start a new thread and talk about all the firemen's picnics that occure every summer, all over WNY and the church lawn fetes? I've lived in other states and never saw these things. Must be a WNY thing. Every Police dept also had a picnic or OX roast/ Clam Bake etc. At a fireman's picnic ; if you were in the beer tent; you could always tell when the firemen had had too much to drink. The would march in the parade in their dress uniform and after too many beers, they always loosened the tie and put their hats on backwards. Firemans day at the Erie County fair with all the firetrucks and each fire coumpany has their own hospitality tent for members and other companies members and families in the infield by the grandstand.

She is a cousin of mine, and she still looks pretty young, even with her being in her mid 60's now. I also remember going to all the firemen's picnics as my father was a member of the Moose club and he and my oldest brother both played drums while marching in the parades.
