Carrollton Volunteer Fire Department hosted it's monthly "Firehouse Bluegrass" music benefit concert 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 11, 2016, at Fire Station-10. The featured entertainment was Mark Templeton, a high energy bluegrass band playing everything from the traditional bluegrass music to doing their own arrangements their way. They have been playing since 1996 and are one of the best, if not the best, bluegrass band in the Tidewater area. Proceeds from this concert benefit the volunteer fire/rescue service of Carrollton and nearby mutual aid districts in Smithfield and northern Suffolk. These donations serve the community by enabling the purchase of needed medical, rescue, fire fighting, training supplies and equipment.
