Imagine downtown Stratford wrapped in its holiday best. A decorated tree, presents surrounding its base, greets visitors as they near Main Street. Festive lights replace the illuminated ropes wound around some trees.
One night, as the holidays approach, choirs sing downtown, holiday shows are open to children and families who head out to come together as a community, and to stop in local stores and restaurants amid a tree lighting ceremony.
The image of a community festival to welcome the holiday season will come to life Wednesday, Dec. 2, with a holiday lighting organizers hope becomes an annual celebration.

Stratford firefighters are continuing their fight for two trucks the department has sought for years and could be purchased immediately if the right permission were given.
The purchase was to be finalized at a special Town Council meeting Monday, Nov. 23, pending a resolution from Mayor James R. Miron declaring an emergency.
The council voted unanimously Nov. 9 to allocate $5,000 from its contingency fund to allow the purchase, without bidding, of two trucks used as demonstration models by Smeal, the manufacturer.
However, Miron told the Star Nov. 11 that the emergency declaration would not be forthcoming. He said the Fire Department has sought for four years to get trucks built to its specifications, which these trucks are not.
