Congratulations to Adam F on his 25th anniversary with Fernstrum. Throughout his tenure, Adam has embraced and embodied the Fernstrum commitment to excellence and service.

Congratulations to Canal Barge LLC on taking delivery of the Cabby H. Boone. This is a twin-screw vessel with Tier 4 Mitsubishi S12R engines, each rated at 1,260 hp at 1,600 rpm, providing a total of 2,520 hp. We are very proud to have provided GRIDCOOLER® Keel Coolers that will help keep this impressive boat working with relentless power.

There is a myth that an engine cooler is merely an add-on to keep the engine churning. In reality, the right cooler configuration will enhance a vessel's productivity, efficiency, and engine performance, while a sub-optimal configuration will slow work speeds, increase fuel costs, and lead to premature engine downtime.

When determining the most effective cooling solution, Fernstrum looks at the engine specs as the baseline. We then factor in your operating conditions like seawater temperature, full load requirements, and worst-case scenarios among other factors to ensure your coolers work the first time and every time you need them.

Get ready for the ultimate, sudsy summer celebration! We are wrapping up the fair weekend with a fun Kids Foam Party on Sunday, July 19th!

Location: Right under the pavilion by the kids' games!

Here is how the fun works:

Dive into a mountain of giant, fluffy foam and dance, play, and laugh the afternoon away! Once you're fully covered in suds, head right over to the water splash pad to rinse off and cool down!

Best of all, this event is FREE with your paid gate admission to the fair!

We want to give a massive shout-out and thank you to R. W. Fernstrum & Company! Because of their incredibly generous sponsorship, we are able to bring this awesome, high-energy event to the fair for our community's families.

Bring a towel, bring a change of clothes, and get ready to make a clean getaway with some unforgettable memories! We'll see you under the pavilion! 🧼✨
