Details Announced For 2nd Annual Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company Family Fun Day

GREENWICH, CT — The Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company (RHVFC) will host its second annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, April 26, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Whitby School in Greenwich.

The event, open to families and children of all ages, aims to celebrate the backcountry community and the greater Greenwich area.

Attractions will include a fire station-themed bounce house, an inflatable fire truck obstacle course, sports games, a bungee cord race, and a new mini-bumper car experience.

Additional features include face painting, arts and crafts, fire safety demonstrations, and a touch-a-truck experience with vehicles from RHVFC and Greenwich Emergency Medical Service (GEMS). Scout, the department’s fire dog, is also expected to make an appearance.

Food will be available from three food trucks and an RHVFC bake sale.

“I could not be more excited to lead the second annual ‘Family Fun Day’ event for the Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company,” said event chairperson Caitlin Egan Del Raso. “More than 400 people attended last year’s event and everyone had a blast. It’s a phenomenal event and I am proud to be pitching in this year. We hope families from all over Greenwich and our surrounding communities come join us for more fun.”

Del Raso noted that the organizing committee includes many local parents from the backcountry area.

“Our organizing committee, including many backcountry moms, has come together to support our neighborhood Round Hill volunteer firefighters," she said. "These volunteers commit their time to protect our homes and property and they also volunteer their time to create and run this incredible event for our community. We are so appreciative.”

RHVFC Volunteer District Chief Sharon Strain, a lifelong member of the department, said the event continues the company’s longstanding tradition of community engagement.

“Family Fun Day presents another opportunity to connect with our community, to raise awareness that we are all volunteers, meet new neighbors, and perhaps even find a few new members to join us to protect the backcountry and all of Greenwich,” Strain said. “It’s going to be a fun day for sure.”

Tickets are available for pre-sale at www.roundhillfire.org.

Proceeds will support the Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible.
