Dan McConnell - ChiefDear Friends & Neighbors,

With the holidays now upon us, we want to remind you of events happening at the firehouse:

FOOD DRIVE

The Ladies Auxiliary is collecting non-perishable food and toiletry donations to benefit the Family Service League. Please consider donating so that those less fortunate can provide a holiday meal to their family. They are also accepting gift cards to local supermarkets. Donations of food can be left in the bins just inside the doors of the firehouse from now through Christmas.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON HOLIDAY PARADE

Halesite will return to the 6th annual Parade with it’s much loved “ELF” Sled along with Buddy, Jovi, Papa Elf, and the Halesite elves. Our Junior Firefighters will also be decorating a float and participating in the Holiday merriment. The parade begins at 6:00pm on Saturday November 28th at the Big “H” Shopping center and winds through town via New York Avenue, and onto Main Street. The parade concludes with a Tree Lighting on Wall Street.

ANNUAL TREE SALE

Halesite will be holding its annual sale of Christmas Trees from Friday, December 4th, through Sunday, December 6th. All of the trees will be beautiful North Carolina Fraser Firs; they have good form and needle-retention, are dark blue-green in color, and have a pleasant scent. In addition there will be decorative wreaths and roping available along with our annual raffle. There is free delivery for residents of the Halesite Fire District. In addition, the Department’s Ladies Auxiliary will be selling baked goods and cocoa during the Christmas Tree sale with proceeds going to the Family Service League.

FREE PHOTO WITH SANTA

Santa will stop by the Tree Sale and be available to take pictures with local children and their families on Saturday, December 5th, from 2:00pm – 4:00pm. Santa and his elves will sit in the actual sleigh featured in the hit movie ELF! Don’t miss this picture perfect opportunity for the whole family!

TOY DRIVE

The Ladies Auxiliary is once again supporting the Family Service League and their Project T.O.Y. this holiday season. Donations of new, unwrapped children’s gifts will be collected through Monday, December 21st, at the Halesite firehouse. Donation bins are located just inside the front doors of the firehouse.

CHILDREN’S HOLIDAY PARTY

Halesite will be hosting its annual Children’s Holiday Party on Sunday, December 6th, at 11:00 am. Children from the Halesite Fire District are invited to attend along with their families. Please bring an unwrapped present for our Toy Drive. In keeping with tradition, this year’s party will feature the usual array of cookies, candy and Santa. There will also be a surprise performance for the kids to enjoy!

SANTA’S RIDE

Santa will be riding through the Halesite Fire District with Buddy the Elf, Jovi, and all the Halesite Elves on Saturday December 19th. For more information on times and the route he will be taking, follow us on Facebook!

I hope all of you will take advantage of the many glad tidings offered this Holiday Season through the Halesite Fire Department and its volunteers.
