Matt Stewart, of Unity, a member of the Dry Ridge Fire Department, shakes hands with members of the Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department, after competing in the Battle of the Barrel on Saturday, July 31, 2021 during the Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department’s Parking Lot Party at Lynch Field.

The Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department didn’t need a beach throw a summer party Saturday.

They hosted a bash in a parking lot at Lynch Field, next to their training facility. And, in straight-forward fashion, they called it the Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department Parking Lot Party.

There was no Community Days this year, so the firefighters came to the public’s rescue in a different way.

There were food trucks, other vendors and live music. A showcase of the event was a Battle of The Barrel between fire companies from the county.
