Cold outside

We really got spoiled last week with the hot weather. Today I have 62 degrees and the wind it blowing out of the North. After last week this is Parka weather. It is a great day to cut wood though. Last weeks activities went great. The rain show we got on Saturday held off until after the Mission Parade was finished. The house burn was great training not only for Mission but all the departments that showed up. Today I noticed that the June berry’s are getting ripe. They taste so good. We will have our June Berry pie by the end of the week. The kids love picking them, the problem is we eat half of what we pick for the pie, this causes us to pick longer. It defiantly is worth the wait after mama pulls the pie out of the oven.

Residents of Merrifield have 3 different fire departements covering them. If you live South of Merrifield you will have Brainerd Fire Department for your coverage.

We cover from Half Moon Saloon up to the just South of Crosslake, MN. We cover all of Center Township including Executive Acres, part of Lake Edward Township, part of Pelican Township and all of Mission Township. Mission Fire has two stations, our main station is at the Mission Townhall and a remote station at Center Townhall.
