Just ahead of the upcoming Jungle Jim’s Weekend of Fire show, word comes to us that the CaJohns Fiery Foods home office will be relocating. The fact that a new building was needed was far from being new news to anyone who was familiar with the old place. A former fire protection equipment [...]

Yep, that’s right, it’s once again time for our annual coverage of Jungle Jim’s 3rd Annual Weekend of Fire in Fairfield, Ohio!!! I won’t get a change to update on when I’m leaving before I leave so I’m just getting this out of the way now.
