For 12 hours on Saturday, the park on the river in downtown Covington was transformed into a fireman’s rock ‘n roll paradise as young and old gathered for fun, food and music.
Bands included Animal Krackers, Bag O’ Donuts and Four Unplugged. The leisurely crowd thickened as the afternoon breezes moved through the trees.

Children played on the inflatable water slide and examined fire equipment as parents sat under the trees and listened to the cover bands rock through the afternoon. By evening, the event was a rousing success with a myriad of activities and the $5 entrance fee contributing to the education fund.
Cooper said next year the event will probably begin later in the afternoon instead of being an all-day event.
“We are very pleased with the results of the event. It was a big jump from the last event held,” she said.
Last year’s event was cancelled due to Hurricane Gustav.
