“It takes a village.” This weekend, volunteer Fire & EMS departments from across Charles County came together to kick off the holiday season—transforming the fairgrounds into a Winter Wonderland for the annual Kris Kringle Christmas Market!

Each year this event gets better and brighter, and our volunteers once again showed up in full force—proving that teamwork and community spirit make even the hardest work enjoyable.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to make this holiday tradition possible. Your dedication truly makes the season shine!

A special thank you to the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department and Indian Head Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary for providing aerial ladder support!
