1st Annual Restoration Pond Hockey Tournament at Spray Lake, Kettleby Ont. This tournament is being organized and hosted by the Schomberg Firemans Club, which is a loose association of firefighters from King Fire and Emergency Services Station 36. Our club owns 2 antique fire trucks; a 1929 International Lorne Fire Pump and a 1940 Ford 2 Ton Fire Truck. As mentioned, these trucks are owned by th
e club and not by the township, which means all maintenance, licensing and insurance costs are raised strictly through various fundraising efforts. Unfortunately this year our trucks require a substantial amount of work to keep them on the road and the monetary requirement to restore/repair these antiques is more than our club can handle at this time. We are hosting this tournament to raise the much needed funds to keep our trucks in action. These antiques are a staple in our community attending many charitable events, members and non-members weddings, classic car shows, and even acting as Santa’s Sleigh during Schomberg’s Main St Christmas Parade! We are the original owners of the 1929 truck, which was purchased brand new in ’29 and was in service until Hurricane Hazel in ’54 when sediment destroyed the pump. The 1940 is undefeated in Antique Fire Truck “Fast Water” pumping competitions!. Should you have any questions or wish to enter a team, please feel free to reach out to us at
