Last weekends hot and humid weather on Saturday, followed by rain on Sunday morning, didn't stop the celebrations of Firefest and Volksfest.

On Saturday, the New Glarus Fire Department celebrated 120 years of Community service with great food, and lots of family friendly activities.

On Sunday, Volksfest, held at the Wilhelm Tell Shooting Park, was delayed for a short time but the program of traditional Swiss entertainment went on.
