(KMZA)--The Seneca Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting a 100th birthday celebration for their 1922 Model K Stutz Fire Engine on Saturday.
The Stutz, as it is commonly called in Seneca, was purchased by the city in March 1922.
The Stutz Motor Company produced 23 Model K fire engines between 1922 and 1928 and Seneca's is believed to be among only two left in existence.
Restored for the 1976 bicentennial, the Stutz is once again in need of repairs. As a result, the observance of the Stutz’s 100th year will not only be a celebration, but will provide an opportunity to raise funds to perform the needed repairs.

A free will donation lunch and supper will be served.
At 5 p.m, there will be a fire truck and apparatus parade, which will begin at the city park and travel down Main Street to Third Street. The parade will also feature the Kansas City Pipe and Drum band, who will have a performance back at the park following the parade .
