You can show your support and gratitude for these heroes by placing a yard sign in your front yard and a bumper sticker on your car. Yard signs are $10.00 each and bumper stickers are 2 for $10.00. You also have the opportunity to purchase a sign to be placed in front of the Eastport Volunteer Fire Company.
