Also, here at the 2022 Nevada County Fair is the 'Brave The Shave' St. Baldrick's 1948 White/Van Pelt Fire Engine which is owned by Dan McIntyre of Grass Valley. In 1993, his son Darren found the old engine in a junkyard (pictured), and at first had no idea what he had found. Dan invested his own money and spent 8 months refurbishing the Modesto Fire Department's engine, had it running and looking great. The engine made it's debut as the first entry in the local Mardi Gras Parade in 1994 and has been making appearances in the community ever since!
