April 4, 2015   Today the Engine helped the Red Knights with their annual bunny run.  What the Red Knights do is take bunnies to children in the hospital.  This year the Engine made a trip to the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey, Hershey Medical Center and Harrisburg Hospital.  Every child got a stuffed bunny.  This year event was a great success.  Thanks to everyone that help with the event.
