Monday, December 17, 2012   Thanks for making our Christmas Tree Sales Fund Raiser a success this year!  In the weeks prior to Christmas, we sold 850 Christmas Trees to our neighbors and friends in one of our most important fund raising events.  Large and small, the trees sold at a pace that rivaled years' past. Wreaths and roping were the first to be sold out. Also on sales were our special, second in a series Christmas Ornaments.  Funds raised from the sale go to help defray costs associated with operating the volunteer fire company -- fuel for our trucks, equipment for our firefighters and for apparatus.  We could not exist without the generous support of our community.

Thank You.
