Celebrate the Holidays with the Firehouse 6!

Join us Sunday for the Annual Firehouse 6 Concert! Enjoy Christmas and traditional dixieland tunes in the beautifully decorated Union Church at 2pm. For more details, click HERE. After the concert enjoy cookies and the drawing of the raffle winners in our chinese auction.

Also, make sure to stop by the Common Man Inn and Restaurant to vote on our tree! We share the decorating duties with our friends (and facility sponsor) Union Church, so you will find our tree by looking for the sign that includes both organizations. We are located near the stairs down to the restaurant, on the left side all the way at the end.

What your donation makes possible:

  • Provides arts education to local youths, and at no cost for families able to afford it.
  • Musical instruments loaned for free to low income families so their children are able to participate in school music programs
  • Concerts right here in Claremont by renowned local, national, and international musicians
  • Community arts and music programs for all

 

The arts are a vital part of a thriving community, and now is the time to invest. Next year is the 250th year for Claremont, and we have many exciting programs in the works with some of your favorite past performers and educators, but we need your support to keep our programs running.

We are most in need of financial support, but we’ve also seen a greater need this year for musical instruments (especially band instruments in working condition).

Checks: make out to “WCCMA” or “Union Church – WCCMA” (our fiscal sponsor). All donations are tax deductible thanks to the financial oversight of Union Church.
