Easton Firefighters Cancel Carnival

EASTON, CT — The Fireman's Carnival held each year by the Easton Volunteer Fire Department has been canceled, "after much deliberation and out of an abundance of caution to protect its community."

The firefighters announced their decision on social media, stressing that the cancellation of the carnival made the annual car raffle that much more important.

"The carnival, including the raffle, is our main fundraiser each year. Without the carnival the raffle is more important than ever. We hope that all community members support us this year through the raffle. The raffle is for a 2020 Ford F150 or 2020 Ford Mustang GT," the fire department posted.

Tickets for the raffle may be purchased online.

In the event one or both of the vehicles are not yet available at the time of the drawing due to COVID-19 issues, the winner will be given a credit of equal value of the first prize vehicle off any vehicle from Colonial Ford in Danbury, the fire department said.

More information on the car raffle is available online.
