- People lined up in front of the Cornwall firehouse on Sunday afternoon and patiently waited for a tasty chicken dinner at the annual fire department cook-out. In addition to a half a bird, diners consumed salad, a roll, baked beans (as always a big hit), a cookie and a drink. The first responders serving up meals appear to be pleasant in these photos, and locals didn’t mind the 20-minute wait because they got to chat with neighbors and friends. Photos by Colton Henty
