All Volunteer Stations, 19 & 79, Bucks County, PA

  On Sunday, November 11, the fire company went forth and did their annual duty to Doylestown Borough's holiday decorating by raising and decorating the tree at State and Main in the Starbucks parking lot. This year the tree is a large Holly, complete with berries and thorny leaves. Led by Bill Happ, the volunteers righted the tree and decorated it with lights in anticipation of the tree lighting ceremony on November 24 when Santa comes to town. Photos by Larry Browne
