“We are hoping to make this a special day for all the emergency responders in Beaver County,” Rochester Manager John Barrett said. “We are asking Beaver County residents, businesses and visitors to come and show their support and appreciation for our dedicated and heroic emergency responders. Everyone will have a chance to interact with our responders and their equipment. There will be food, DJ, and raffles .The biggest attraction will be an obstacle course challenge between our emergency responders for the right to be called the ‘Best Responders in Beaver County.’ One responder from each department will represent their department in the challenge.”
Event officials already had picked the location, Brighton Avenue in Rochester, before the large fire there on Aug. 18 that destroyed the former Blue Violet Cafe building.
