The fundraiser for the department included carnival rides, bands, food, bingo and other games of chance. Bartlett resident Don Honick, a professional photographer, took the images of the festival and created a spiral bound book. Side 1- Erwin Schultz, one-time Bartlett rural mail carrier, is calling the Bingo numbers at the Firemen's Festival. The roller cage, filled with bingo balls is in front of him.
