Buy Tickets to Thanksgiving Meat-O on Nov. 14

Beacon Hose is set to host the latest edition of one of our most popular events: the Thanksgiving Meat-O!

Our Thanksgiving Meat-O night will be Saturday, Nov. 14, from 6-9 p.m. at the firehouse. A $10 admission fee buys you a seat, and we’ll have light refreshments. The features of the night are games of chance to win something special for your Thanksgiving table. We’ll have turkeys, hams, roasts, seafood, raffle baskets, mystery turkeys, and more up for grabs!

Starting this year, pre-paid tickets are required instead of paying at the door. To ensure your entire party sits together, we recommend one person from the party pays for all tickets. To complete your reservation, please do one of the following:

  • Purchase your tickets online by clicking here. You may include a note with your order if there’s something we should know, including desired seating arrangements.
  • Mail or drop off cash or a check (payable to Beacon Hose) to the firehouse at 35 North Main Street, Beacon Falls, CT 06403. Please include a written note with a name, phone number, email address, and any other info you’d like us to know.

Only those 21 and older are allowed, and the event is BYOB (alcohol is allowed) and BYOS (snacks!). The deadline to buy tickets is Wednesday, Nov. 11.

When we sell out of tickets, we will create a waiting list and email all ticketholders giving 24 hours notice to make any cancellations. Any cancellations made after that 24-hour window, or after Nov. 11, will be non-refundable.

Thank you for your cooperation as we implement this new policy, which has become necessary due to an increasing number of no-show RSVPs over the years. We look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with all of you!

Beacon Hose to Host 9/11 Ceremony, Selling Shirts to Benefit Tunnel to Towers

UPDATE: Thanks to those who joined for our ceremony. The T-shirt sale is now closed — we raised $1,000 for Tunnel to Towers!

Please join Beacon Hose on Friday, Sept. 11 as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a ceremony at the firehouse. The events will begin at 6:30 p.m. and include various speakers, memories, and tributes to those lost — especially the 343 members of FDNY who died while rescuing others.

In addition, Beacon Hose has launched a T-shirt fundraiser for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. This design was created by Beacon Hose members, and it features a patch on the front chest with a beautiful rendering of the New York skyline on the back.

All of the proceeds after printing/material costs will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which does tremendous work for fallen first responders and military, homeless veterans, and 9/11-related education. T-shirt orders will close on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Catch the Shuttle Bus from Laurel Ledge to the Beacon Hose Carnival!

The top complaint every year at the Beacon Hose Carnival is this: “There’s nowhere to park!”

Finally, we have a solution: Introducing carnival shuttle bus service between Beacon Hose and Laurel Ledge Elementary School!

Our shuttle bus will allow riders to park at Laurel Ledge and catch a ride to the main entrance of the carnival (see our grounds map below)! The shuttle will run every 15 minutes, or more frequently as needed, between the start of the carnival and 30 minutes prior to closing.
