Mark your calendars and plan to have BBQ with us.

Our next Chicken BBQ at the station is Saturday, April 27th. The chicken will be sold from 9:30am until we’re sold out.

Did you know our Chicken BBQ fundraiser is our longest, on-going fundraising event in the history of the station? Our volunteers have been serving delicious BBQ meals, rain or shine, for 20+ years. We appreciate your support of our events because every purchase is another way of donating to the fire company.

The chicken BBQ is sold as:

• Half chicken
• Chicken dinner which includes 2 sides + a dinner roll

Be sure to check out the home-made baked goods table and while you’re here please buy a dessert. There’s always something tasty among the selections.

Reserve Early: Booth Space for Mile Long Yard Sale

During the Chicken BBQ we will be taking early-bird reservations for booth space rentals at the Mile Long Yard Sale. The date of the event is Thursday, July 4th.

This yard sale has grown in the past 35+ years to span MORE than a mile radius into neighborhoods all around Paramount with tens of thousands of people walking around the community. The shoppers will be here—searching for all types of things and if you have things to sell, THIS is where you need to be.

The 10×10 vendor spaces at the Long Meadow Fire Station are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. We have spaces both outdoors plus limited spaces indoors. And, these spaces usually fill FAST!

With the firehouse located in the heart of Paramount and the middle of the sprawling Mile Long Yard Sale, you can’t ask for a better location to rent a space. Plus, your rental fee is a great way to support our station fundraising efforts.

The station will be manning food and drink concessions so we’re not booking spaces to other food or drink vendors.

The firefighters also host several parking areas along the yard sale route for a minimal parking fee. If you’re searching for a place to park, consider using one of our parking lots.
