Saturday, October 10, 2009, the Hoxie Volunteer Fire Department held their annual open house at the fire house. There were several families and friends of the Fire Department on hand enjoying the open house. There was hot dogs and hamburgers with soft drink served for lunch. There was displays by the National Guard as well as the Hoxie Fire Department and the Craighead Fire Department's Safety Trailer. I'd hate to fail to mention the brave volunteers that manned the dunking booth just out side of the community center that braved the cold air and water depending on the aim of the baseball thrower.
