You can find schedules for the 2015 Lancaster County mud sales in various places, including the one we posted here a few weeks ago.

But I haven’t seen a full-year schedule listing all the other Lancaster County fire company events–breakfasts, “Amish wedding meals”, ox roasts, bluegrass concerts, oyster suppers, and other happenings.

Thanks to the work of reader Ed C., we have a 2015 schedule here for you. Jump to schedule

Many fire companies hold fundraiser meals and other events to generate revenue to fund their operations. Quite a few of the Lancaster County-area companies have Amish and Mennonite members, something which you don’t see so much of in other Amish areas.

Ed has compiled the 2015 listing below using info found online on fire company websites and other places. You can find individual events on each company’s web site, but that is a lot of sites to monitor so this should be pretty handy if you’re looking for an event to attend.

I’d still recommend confirming at the individual site before traveling a long distance, but to the best of our knowledge, these are accurate as of late February.

Ed adds that “To the best of my knowledge, most events do take place at or in the immediate vicinity of the different firehouses.” We’ve listed the firehouse addresses and websites (23 total) first.

If an event is known to take place at a different location, that is listed as well. And of course, firehouses may add more events through the year so it’s still good to check the individual sites.

Have you ever attended one of these fire company meals or other events? I hope you’ll let us know if you do and how you enjoyed it.
