Brockway Volunteer Hose had their Annual Banquet January 16^th, 2010 at the Hose Company with 152 attending the banquet. The meal was served with choices of stuffed chicken breast or roast sirloin of beef. Many of the servers were high school kids from the Brockway Area School District and some were even sons and daughters of members of the Hose Company and they did a great job serving the guest and members. We also had young men for a local boy scout troop serving up the meals.
