SHELTON - White Hills Voluntary Fire Company is getting ready for Santa’s annual tour of White Hills and the White Hills Tree Lighting Ceremony in conjunction with the Toys for Tots Drive.
Friends and neighbors in White Hills are invited to the firehouse at 2 School St. for a community tree lighting at 6 p.m. Dec. 8.
This year Santa hopes to be joined by a member of the United States Marine Corps Reserve for the tree lighting. All are welcome to join fire company members for a cup of hot chocolate after the tree lighting.
Toys will also be accepted that night for the Toys for Tots Drive.
Each year through the generosity of Shelton residents, the fire company provides truckloads of new, unwrapped toys to The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.
The following Saturday, Dec. 15, from 9:15 a.m.-5 p.m., Santa will be escorted on a fire truck through the White Hills of Shelton.
He and his helpers will be passing out popcorn balls to children.
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 for Tots drive.
New, unwrapped toys will be collected by the firefighters for distribution by the United States Marine Corps Reserve.
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children.
In the event of foul weather please visit www.whitehillsfireco.org or the White Hills Fire Company Friends and Neighbors Face Book Page for the rain date.
