Dear S.P.A.A.M.F.A.A. Members;
The Fairchester Hose Haulers of the Hudson Valley are proud to host the 2016 Summer National Convention and
Muster from August 10 through August 13, 2016.
We have planned day tours to the Volunteer Firemens Hall and Museum of Kingston, the New York State
Firefighting Museum in Hudson and a trip to the Woodbury commons retail Center for the ladies, who will be
given a’goodie bag’ filled with various discount coupons. On Friday will be a trip to lower Manhattan in NYC
of significance and reflection to the Freedom Plaza Memorial, the site of the former World Trade Center/Ground
Zero. This is a must see and requires reservations as soon as possible on a first come, first served basis. You will be
required to show valid and current photo identification with address.
The muster will be held at the Andrew Leider ‘Truck House’ property where you can see several hundred fire trucks
under one roof. It is here, where we, the Fairchester Hose Haulers of the Hudson Valley call ‘home’, as the official
caretakers of Andy and Avery’s vast collection and those fire trucks belonging to several of our Chapter members.
The host hotel is the Holiday Inn at 68 Crystal Run Rd., Middletown, NY 10941. You can reserve a room by
contacting the hotel directly at (845) 343-1474, using our event reservation code ‘FIR’. Rates start at $106 + tax
per night. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available daily. The Holiday Inn is easily located by taking exit 4E of
Highway Route 84 onto Highway Route 17 E to exit 122. Exit ramp(s) intersect with Crystal Run Rd. (aka N. Main
St.). For overflow accommodations there are: Hampton Inn, Marriott Hotel and Microtel, nearby. There will be
very limited,on a first come basis, fire apparatus parking at the host hotel. However, there is adequate and secure
free parking at the ‘Truck House’ property at 2618 Route 302, Middletown (Circleville), NY 10941 (Exit 119 on
Highway Rte. 17).
The muster will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at the ‘Truck House’ site at 2618 Route 302, Middletown,
New York from 10 AM to 3 PM. For those not participating in the parade,there will be an a.m. shuttle bus from
the host hotel to the muster site returning to the hotel after 3 pm. As a special treat the FDNY Super Pumper is
expected to be on display at the muster courtesy of the Dobson Fire Museum. The truck motor was donated by
Andrew Leider, our local SPAAMFAA Northeast Trustee. FHH member, Ed May, ‘gold leaf’ expert extraordinaire
will conduct a “live” demonstration! FHH member Bob Howell will display his incredibly detailed hand constructed
scale model fire apparatus.
In the evening will be the banquet including an hors d’oeuvres hour with cash bar, to be held at Kuhl’s Highland
House at 512 Highland Ave., in Middletown, NY. There will be a shuttle bus from the Holiday Inn to/from Kuhl’s.
