Thank You, Firefighters

Photo Courtesy Autumn DriscollIt was Popcorn Ball Sunday” in Ansonia, Derby and Seymour Dec. 18, and we asked readers to share their photos with us through our Facebook page.

The annual event is traditionally held the Sunday before Christmas in those towns.

In addition to Santa riding atop a fire truck tossing gooey crispy treats, the East End Hose Co. in Derby delivered toys to kids whose families ordered in advance.

The CT Post took photos, and published a story about one of the firefighters hopping down off the truck to get engaged. Click here to read the story.

Here’s video we ran live on Facebook Sunday. It’s the East End arriving to bring toys to my kids in Derby:
