White Hills Fire Company to host tree lighting ceremony Dec. 7


SHELTON - White Hills Voluntary Fire Company is getting ready for the White Hills Community Tree Lighting Ceremony and Santa’s annual tour of White Hills in conjunction with the Fire Company's Toys 4 Kids Drive.

Friends and neighbors in White Hills are invited to attend the White Hills Community Tree Lighting at 6 p.m. Dec. 7 at White Hills Fire House, 2 School St. 

Toys will be accepted at the fire house for the Toys 4 Kids Drive from Dec. 7-14. Each year through the generosity of Shelton residents, the fire company provides truckloads of new, unwrapped toys for families in need through programs like Team Toys 4 Kids.

The following weekend, Saturday, Dec. 14, from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Santa will be escorted on a fire truck through White Hills. Santa and his helpers will be tossing out popcorn balls to children during Santa’s tour. The trip begins in Upper White Hills and ends in Lower White Hills.

Members of the White Hills Fire Company will follow Santa’s engine with pickup trucks as part of the fire company’s Toys 4 Kids drive. 

New unwrapped toys will be collected by the firefighters for distribution by TEAM, Inc.

TEAM Toys 4 Kids has been able to make magic happen for thousands of children and families and infinite life-long family memories. If you are not able to drop a gift off at the firehouse and miss Santa during his tour you can visit www.teaminc.org and donate and YOU can MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN for Valley children.

In the event of foul weather please visit www.whitehillsfireco.org or the White Hills Fire Company Friends and Neighbors Facebook page for the rain date.
