To the Editor:

The officers and members of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co. would like to thank our family, friends, fellow firefighters, residents of Newtown and out-of-town guests for helping to make our 28th annual LobsterFest on Friday and Saturday, June 5-6, a success. We served over 2,000 lobsters and 660 pounds of steak last weekend, along with hundreds of burger and hot dog dinners.

We would like to thank our neighbors for putting up with the noise. We need to thank our fellow volunteer firefighters from Botsford, Dodgingtown Hawleyville, Newtown Hook & Ladder, Easton, Monroe, Stepney, Stevenson and Southbury, and anyone else who offered their support this year. We also thank members of Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps, many of whom also showed support by attending the event.

In addition, we would like to thank LRM, Newtown Color Center, Associated Refuse and JP Maguire for their donations. A thank you goes out to the local towns and cities that loaned portable lights.

business owners and merchants for their donations this year for our first LobsterFest raffle.

Thank you for the continued support of Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue. Mark your calendars for the 29th annual event on June 10 and 11, 2016.

Sincerely,

Anthony Capozziello
