Calcutta FD Water Battle returns for 24th year at St. Clair Township Memorial Day Festival
CALCUTTA, Ohio (WKBN) — A local fire department enjoyed the nice weather Sunday afternoon with a fun event. The Calcutta Fire Department hosted its 24th annual Water Battle as part of the St. Clair Township Memorial Day Weekend Festival at Calcutta Square. Firefighters competed in teams to knock a suspended barrel down a wire using their water hoses. 'The main reason we are here today is because of the veterans that have lost their lives in the battle, and we can have the freedom for our country that we enjoy today. So, this is because of their memories and their honor, and we'd like to continue that, and this gives us the freedom to do that,' said St. Clair Township Trustee Jim Sabatini. The festival started with a 5K run and walk. People could also enjoy food vendors, a car show and live music all day. At noon, there was a flag-raising ceremony in front of the Veterans Clinic to honor those who died in service. 'We have vendors, and we have bands. We have the car show going on and fireworks [Sunday] at 9:30 p.m. We had our flag-raising ceremony this morning, and it went well. So, it's just been better and better every year, and I keep enjoying it the more we do it,' Sabatini said. The festival ends after the fireworks. Tino DiCenso contributed to this report.
