Deka Lake &District Volunteer Fire Department firefighters and their spouses enjoyed a steak barbecue, June 24. Delicious salads were created by Fire Chief Al Boyce’s wife, Sonja, and guests provided the delectable desserts. Usually held in September with questionable weather, this year’s barbecue was afforded the added bonus of glorious weather.
