PHOTOS: Dale Bash couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Bash, chairman of the Antique Toy & Fire Museum, a volunteer non-profit organization with a keen eye for history and education, was at the museum’s new facility on Sunday, April 21 in downtown Bay City to open its doors for its first exhibit: a 1918 Republic Fire Truck.
Joined by fellow museum volunteers Mike, Nick and Justin Ruegsegger, Bash was struck by how many people stopped to take pictures of the fire truck as they backed it into the newly restored Victorian fire station.
“It was amazing,” Bash said. “There were even people that came out of the Washington Street Pub to take pictures. It was really a heartwarming sight.”
