Appreciating First Responders
The seventh annual First Responders Appreciation Dinner welcomed 300 first responders and their families for a night filled with food, games, and
fun. The evening’s highlights included a visit from Boomer, the Springfield Thunderbirds mascot, and the Massachusetts State Police taking home the win in the annual Chief Games. This event was hosted by Pioneer Valley Financial Group in partnership with the VFW and featured catering by Mills Tavern and Chill, with desserts provided by Chmura’s Bakery.
