VIFR members will be cooking hot dogs for the public and light refreshments will be served. Children will look forward to a visit from Airlift Northwest (as emergencies permit) so we can get a close-up view of their helicopter. Sparky will also be on hand for picture-taking. Come by, visit us and then enjoy CiderFest while in Vashon.
