Funds raised at this event help support the many activities of the New Bern Firemen’s Museum including their plans to restore the Central Fire Station, circa 1928, located on Broad Street. The building will house interactive exhibits as well as the many important relics that have already been collected to further demonstrate the City’s legacy of firefighting. Attendees at BBQ and Blue Jeans will be able to make their own history and purchase a 4’x8’ brick or 8’x8’ paver to leave a legacy in support of this capital project.
