Luna, the Moon, Will Light Santa's Midnight Ride for the First time in 38 Years!!

This year, Father Christmas will have a full Moon to light his way! The full Moon falls on the
25th of December for the first time in 38 years.

"Toys for Lebanon Kids" ends another Successful Year!!

Lebanon Fire and EMS Christmas Elves,

Jessica Kelly and Cindy Harmon

did a fantastic job this evening of sorting, wrapping and passing out toys and games to 35 families tonight in the

"Toys for Lebanon Kids" toy drive.

According to Cindy, this year's donations weren't so much from corporate and business donations, but more so from the Department's collection bins, scattered throughout Lebanon

and private family donations.

Families applied to the Lebanon Fire and EMS Department and to the best of the "Elves" ability, wishes were granted and there will be gifts under the tree this year for all who applied.

GREAT JOB LEBANON FIRE and EMS!!

GREAT JOB LEBANON MAINE!!

YOU ROCK!!

Merry Christmas!!
