On Saturday, March 18th, we were a proud sponsor of the 6th Annual Johnstown Fire Department’s Charity Ball! We not only sponsored the ball, but we got a few tables for a fun night out! The gala was a semi-formal event right next door at our neighbor, The Holiday Inn’s beautiful grounds! The Johnstown Firefighters Local 779 Charity Fund is used to give back to the community through sponsorships, donations and supporting community events. The charity fund is most importantly used to help city residents who have unfortunately been displaced from their home due to fire by providing financial assistance to get them through the most difficult hours of their lives. The 6th year of the charity ball had music provided by the “Upstate NY’s Top-Ranked Party Band” Jukebox Rebellion. We had a blast and are looking forward to next year’s event!

The active technology in the Toyota Avalon will help you stay safe. The safety features are a part of a package that is known as the Toyota Safety Sense. You don’t have to worry about drifting lanes again. You will get an alert via the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. The steering assist will help guide you back into the right lane. Being able to see at night is one of the keys to staying safe. The automatic high beams will turn on when you drive in an area with little or no light.

The automatic high beams also have the ability to turn off when another car approaches. Additionally, the pre-collision systems have the ability to help you avoid getting into an accident. The system can react if you are getting ready to hit something. It can also detect pedestrians.
