Fullerton Fire Company held an all-you-can-eat breakfast 8-11 a.m. Sept. 27 in the social hall, 851 Second St. Patrons streamed into the social hall to enjoy the quality breakfast.
Julie Smisko, of Catasauqua, staffed the breakfast ticket table. Her pleasant demeanor greeted attendees with humor and a smile as they paid for the breakfast. Julie’s husband Chip was part of the volunteer team operating the kitchen.
Diana Merkel, of Whitehall, engaged in friendly banter as she toasted the bread for the diners. She cheerfully focused on toasting them to an attractive golden brown.
The kitchen crew volunteers were Kerry, Chip, Kris and one gentleman who chose anonymity.
A tray was pulled out of an oven with perfectly cooked sausage patties that carried a wonderful, mouth watering, pallet-tempting aroma.
The patrons enjoyed the food and socialized with fellow members and guests. The event was larger than a simple breakfast, based on the collegiality between the volunteers and patrons.
Fullerton Fire Company was officially organized Sept. 3, 1912, to provide organized fire protection to the area. The social club was formed at the same time. The social club is a members-only club with a bar, kitchen and social club.
The Fullerton Fire Company social club runs a busy event schedule. Free poker night for members and guests is held Mondays, bar bingo night is Tuesdays, trivia night is Wednesday, and every other Thursday is open mic night.
The social club has Saturday band nights, including Dirty Laundry Nov. 14. The bands play 8-11 p.m.
