Thank you for supporting the AVFD!

A New Fry Recipe Created and Served by a Avon Volunteer Fire Department Firefighter! One of our newest Avon Volunteer Fire Department firefighters, Jim Bayne, has created a winning recipe for the Jefferson Fry Company. Jim entered and won a contest that was sponsored by Jefferson Fry Co. for the best creative fry recipe. “His Creation Begins with JFC’s Signature Hand Cut Fries and Generously Adds Hickory Smoked Bacon, Seared Poblano Peppers, and Freshly Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese, Then Tops Them Off with a Drizzle of Smoky Chipotle and Avocado Crema!”

Many thanks to all who came out to support the Avon Volunteer Fire Department and the Canton Volunteer Fire Department at the Jefferson Fry Co. Event last Thursday! Pictured below are Jim Bayne (who created Firehouse Fries), Gina Kline, Dennis Bianchi and Connor Goldie graciously accepting a check in the amount of $348.00 from Jefferson Fry Co., the amount raised during this fundraising event! Everyone had a great time and the Firehouse Fries were so GOOD!
