Our Saturday afternoon was spent at a pretty special barbeque, one of Riverside County's longest-running events, with the first being held in 1948.
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Murrieta Fire & Rescue (MFR) hosted its annual Firefighter’s Barbeque at Murrieta’s Town Square Park. The event's description read, "In celebration of MFR’s 75th anniversary, this year’s event will be bigger than ever with live music at the Amphitheater, in addition to a variety of activities throughout the day. As is the tradition, barbeque guests will enjoy a smoked tri-tip lunch, music, beer and wine garden, bag-toss tournament, and vendors’ market. Attendees will also get to cheer on fire explorers from throughout Southern California in the annual Fire Explorers “Muster” Competition.""The day will be filled with fun, food, and entertainment, and is a way for the community to show their support for the dedicated public safety personnel serving at MFR. It is also a way for MFR to show its appreciation for the community it has served the past 75 years."The entertainment was SouthBound and Company, a fabulous band with Steve's brother, Kevin, rocking the bass. So dang fun!People-watching was another of the day's fun activities.I even met a new author who promised to come to Tahoe to present for the Friends of the Library there. "During his career in law enforcement, best-selling author David Putnam has done it all: worked in narcotics, violent crimes, criminal intelligence, hostage rescue, SWAT, and internal affairs, to name just a few. He is the recipient of many awards and commendations for heroism."The vendors were diverse and rather interesting, including this jeweler. While we could only stay for a short time, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to stay longer next year. “Firemen never know what they will encounter on each call but proceed with the same level of commitment and service.” -Byron Pulsifer
