Stew Leonard's Danbury store is kicking off the 2012 holiday season with its 18th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting celebration, taking place on Monday, December 3, 2012.
The festivities begin at 4:00 p.m. with the Long Hill Fire Department Trucks on display for all to marvel at and Santa leading the crowd through holiday carols while his elves are on hand for face painting. The Brookfield High School dance team and the New Fairfield High School Carolers will also perform. The countdown to the tree lighting begins at 5:00 pm, followed by continued caroling led by Stew Leonard's Wow the Cow, Daisy the Duck and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Santa, Mrs. Claus and Rudolph will also be available for picture taking. Hot cocoa and cookies will be served to keep everyone warm.
This year's tree is a 25 foot spruce, donated by Bill and Camille Pirre of Bethel, Connecticut. The Pirres and their grandchildren will have the honor of pulling the switch to light the tree at 5:00 p.m.

I disagree. I think Obama does a pretty good job. For one thing, he's brought dignity back to the…Read More Whitehouse. Would you really be pleased if your children grew up to be like George Bush? I mean look at the man. Ten years before he was President he was sitting on a bar stool doing nothing with his life. Now after his Presidency, he's an artist painting pictures of himself in the shower. Gimme a break. Through some fluke of nature, somewhere in between there he became President of the United States. You couldn't make this stuff up, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing. Thank goodness Obama came along and gave America some dignity.

People, stop spraying your lawns with chemicals! Cancer rates in CT are higher than other states.…Read More That's because we have the money to spray our lawns and turn them into green perfection. But it can kill you and your kids. Just stop it already. Is your grass more important than the health of your family?

No money for the classrooms? A shame. Ridgefield's BOE just donated $25,000 of taxpayer money to…Read More yet another artificial turf field. Gee, that works out to about $480 per classroom - exactly what the teachers have to spend out of their pockets on YOUR kids.
Lesson: Money for sports? Yes. Money for the classroom. No.
