Pictured is Fire Commissioner Ronald Magarie decorating the annual West Hempstead Holiday Tree, which has grown so well it needs more then a step ladder to decorate. The West Hempstead Fire Department is proud to assist the West Hempstead Civic Association with preparations for the upcoming Holiday at Hall's this Sunday.

The West Hempstead Civic Association will once again be sponsoring Holiday at Hall's Pond Park on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the park, located on Nassau Boulevard in West Hempstead.

The festivities will include children's games, music, carolers and a train ride. Santa arrives at 3 p.m. with the lighting ceremonies to begin at 4:30 p.m.

For further information or inclement weather, call 733-0879. The event is being partially funded by the Astoria Federal Savings Bank.
