See It For Yourself…Inside The New Firehouse BBQ & Blues, Depot District

January 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Mural behind the stage of the Firehouse BBQ & Blues, Depot District

If you haven’t been inside the Firehouse BBQ & Blues yet, but you’ve heard about “the” mural…here is a sneak preview.  The mural was painted by the well known artist, Pamela Bliss, who has been director of the Murals Project in Wayne County.  She also painted the Single G mural in Cambridge City as well as many others in Wayne County.  This mural is located behind the stage where live music is played every weekend, and depicts the old fire wagon and horses racing to put out a fire.  The Firehouse BBQ & Blues is actually housed in what was the first firehouse in the area and has been remodeled with much of its historic value preserved, by two firefighters who took on this project over two years ago.  It is a must -see destination!

Oktoberfest 2011 In The Depot District

The crowd gathered as the tricycle races began with teams competing for over 150.00 worth of gift  certificates from area merchants.  (see video below)  After several “heats” the overall champions of the day were the Johnson Boys team.

Two stages of live music played throughout the day, one in front of Steve Terzini’s Little Shebas and another stage in the beer garden by Joe’s Pizza.  (See more videos of live music at our Go Wayne County youtube site).

Kids enjoyed the bouncers throughout the fest as well as yummy soft ice cream and cotton candy- there were even hot apple dumplings.

The "Johnson Boys" team congratulate each other on winning the Tricycle Race

Last night the place to be was in the Depot District, to begin the long 4th of July weekend.

As the steam of the day started to leave issuing in a cool breeze, people gathered to enjoy the Cruise In.

Timeless music filled the air as the crowd milled about listening to the live band, eating, visiting with one another and taking a tour of the many classic cars surrounding the beer garden.

The parking lot and under the overpass was filled to capacity with vehicles of all eras from the 1920’s to the 60’s.

Next to the beer garden, Joe’s pizza was filled to capacity with people enjoying the amazing sounds of Carol Lou and friends.  Decades of musical talent were there last night as the oldies were enjoyed over pizza and laughter.
