Take a Survey to Help Improve the Beacon Hose Carnival

Leave a comment

Update: Thanks for your help!

We have already begun to plan this year’s Beacon Hose Firemen’s Carnival and Parade, which has been a yearly tradition in our community since 1963. This year’s event will take place from June 9-11 on the firehouse grounds. We’ll have lots more information coming, but we need some help as we work out the details for this summer.

For the first time, we’ve put together a 10-question survey that we’re opening up to our residents and carnival-goers. It only takes about five minutes to complete, and each result will help us make necessary changes and improvements to the event.

Update: Our stock of trees is sold out. Thanks for your support! Merry Christmas!

The annual tradition that is Beacon Hose helping our neighbors celebrate Christmas is returning once again to the firehouse with the start of our Christmas tree sales!

The sale will begin the weekend after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28-29) and continue every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas (or until we sell out of trees, which we did on our fifth day of sales last year). We’ll be at the firehouse each day of the sale from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The fresh-cut trees cost $45 each, and free delivery is available to all Beacon Falls residents. Those who would like to buy a Christmas tree without leaving their own home can also call the firehouse at (203) 729-1470 during any of the sale hours.
