| The Bedford Fire Department held its annual Installation Dinner on Friday, April 27th at Historical Hall. The event, which was organized by VP Sarah Kalarchian, was a wonderful evening at Historical Hall, with white table cloths and colorful Hopp Ground Garden Club flowers, catered by (FF Michael &) Hannah Gorman's Diner Thyme Catering.
