Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department puts on show as firemen raise annual Christmas tree

The Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department spent much of the morning and afternoon raising the tree amid the well-wishers and spectators who came to watch on a nearly perfect December 1 day. The tradition of the Lemoore Volunteer Fire Department has been an important part of Lemoore’s Christmas season for many decades. The tree will remain at the intersection for all of December and is removed in early January. Other activities on Sunday included a bounce house, hayrides, a craft show, Sarah Mooney Museum tours and much more. Sunday’s activities were just the beginning of the holiday season in Lemoore. The annual Lemoore Christmas Parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 7 beginning at 6 p.m. in downtown Lemoore. The Lemoore Lions Club will host its annual Breakfast with Santa at the Lemoore Civic Auditorium on December 8 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
