The town of Easton began its annual Volunteer Fire Company carnival on Tuesday.

This year marks the 81st edition of the celebration, which is taking place at the Fairgrounds on Center Road.

The event included rides, games, bingo and great food.

Organizers say the event not only brings the town together, but it's the top fundraiser for the department

"You know, it's just a really fun time between the good food we serve,” said Easton Volunteer Fire Department chief Robert Klem. “I think we have 17 different rides this year. We have the bingo tent, the pizza freak and its just a combination of everything."

The carnival runs through Saturday.
