Coming up to the lowest branches on some of the tallest fir trees outside Engine Company 2, Gabby Acquaviva, 7, helped her father Dean Acquaviva pick out trees.
“We have a blast, we do it every year,” Dean Acquaviva said while firefighters trimmed one of the two trees they picked out Sunday.
Gabby Acquaviva said her favorite part of picking out a tree is bringing it home to decorate.
Firefighter Cecilio Feliciano said helping families pick out a tree makes all the work they do setting up the fundraiser worthwhile.
“When they bring the little kids, the smiles on their faces (are) priceless,” he said.
Around 100 of the 600 trees the fire company began selling late last month remained Sunday, Feliciano said.
The money raised largely goes towards the company’s scholarships and other town organizations, including the food pantry.
