You want to impress all the other parents you know with a clever and fun birthday party for your child, right? But you don’t want to spend the $200 or more it costs at some party-for-rent places, right?

Here’s a compromise: The Gorham Fire Department.

For $40, you can have your child's party at the Gorham fire station, in the living quarters. You bring the food and decorations, and the kids get to take a little tour of the place. Plus, the birthday boy or girl gets a ride in a real fire truck! They only do it for kids under 10.

And the money you pay helps fund fire prevention programs.

For more info, call Dale Leighton at 839-6762. Leighton asks that people call well in advance of the party date.
