The annual pig roast and bonfire hosted by the Ringwood Borough Volunteer Fire Company #1 is a highly anticipated event that brings the community together for a night of fun and festivity. This event is open to everyone, and attendees can look forward to a lively atmosphere filled with music and delicious food offered at a great price.
The highlight of the evening was the entertainment provided by a local band, of which I was proud to be a member as the drummer and an occasional vocalist.
The band had a diverse repertoire of songs that cater to all ages and musical preferences, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. As the sun set and the bonfire was lit, the aroma of roasting pig filled the air, and the sound of music began to play, creating an ambiance of warmth and camaraderie. The crackling of the firewood and the glow of the flames add to the charm of the evening, making it a memorable experience for all. The pig roast was a culinary delight, with the pork being slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in tender and flavorful meat that falls off the bone. The meal was accompanied by a variety of side dishes and desserts, all prepared by the talented volunteers of the fire company.
The annual pig roast and bonfire is not just an event; it’s a tradition that embodies the spirit of the Ringwood Borough Volunteer Fire Company #1. It’s a celebration of community, service, and the simple joys of life. As a band member, I felt honored to be a part of this cherished tradition and to provide the soundtrack for a night full of laughter, good food, and great company.
