During our Labor Day travels with Tux, we went to a small town festival in Matthews, NC. They call the festival "Matthews Alive!" now, but the locals still like to refer to it as it used to be known, "The Stumptown Festival". It was a hot day, but a nice way to cap off the Labor day weekend. We saw a few bands, smelled the funnel cakes and gyros being cooked, and visted a number of tents filled with arts and crafts. However, Tux was more interested in the shiny fire trucks parked outside the Matthews Fire Department.
They had a grand flag waving high above the festival, which draped down from an extended fire truck ladder. His visit at the station inspired him enough to write a Haiku:
Summertime heroes
Here they are not hard to find
Fire truck reflection
