| Saturday Morning December 6th officially marked the beginning of the Holiday season in Cutchogue.
Each year the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Cutchogue Fire Department and the Cutchogue Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary sponsor the "Christmas in Cutchogue" Celebration.
The morning began at 9:00 am. with a children's magic show that took place at in the truck bays of the Cutchogue Firehouse. Children of the community were treated to a fun-filled hour long show filled with magic tricks and a magician sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Holiday treats such as cookies, candy canes, cider and hot cocoa were provided by the members of the CFD Ladies Auxiliary.
The highlight of the morning took place when Santa Claus arrived at the firehouse by helicopter.
Santa flew in and greeted the over 200 children that were awaiting him on the firehouse grounds.
CFD Firefighters and Fire Police stood by while the helicopter landed and kept the eager children at a safe distance.
Shortly after Santa Claus was escorted by firefighters aboard Engine 8-5-4 through the Cutchogue Village to the Cutchogue Library where he spent the rest of the morning meeting with the children of the community.
Each child had the chance to sit with Santa and have pictures taken in the newly refurbished Cutchogue-New Suffolk Library.
The Officers and Members of CFD would like to thank the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, the CFD Ladies Auxiliary, and the staff at the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Library for making this joyous holiday event possible.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS |
