Community Boost Expected for Historic Old Betsy Fire Truck
Venice officials report a fundraising push for the LeFrance fire truck Old Betsy has raised 1900 dollars with a city match pushing total to over 3800. The council will match up to 5000 for rebuilding the engine and body work with Nokomis Hines Body Shop offering free sandblast and Orland engine shop to perform repairs once funded. Public support grew after initial 1000 dollar pledge and letters and hearings urged more funds for Old Betsy's parade role and future events.
