One of the claims to fame of this little town is the worlds longest burning light bulb, deemed the centennial bulb since it has been going for more than 100 years. There’s even a live webcam where you can see the bulb. This weekend they had a little celebration at the local firehouse where the bulb is housed to celebrate 1,000,000 hours of service of the bulb.
I’d been curious to see this for a while, so I used this as an opportunity to go over an take some pictures. It was a typical small town event, where they had brought out a bunch of the historic fire engines and police cars, and had some setups from the cultural societies. It was fun to see it and get inside the firehouse I’ve been by a thousand times. Luckily the temperature was also reasonably moderate making walking around bearable.
