The St. Thomas Fire Muster Days is a popular Labour Day festival to celebrate fire service workers and build camaraderie among them through competition and other events.
“We look forward to it every year it comes,” said Kim Destun, co-chairwoman of the organizing committee.
The event kicks off Saturday morning with the popular Parade, followed by opening ceremonies, noon at Pinafore. The parade will flow down Talbot to Elgin St., then to Elm St. and out to Pinafore. Opening ceremonies and national anthems follow at noon, and muster competitions begin at 12:30 pm.
"The muster games consist of a bunch of a different skill-based competitions,” Destun said. “But they're just fun, obstacle course-type games is the best way to describe them.”
