WILMINGTON â On Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, Wilmingtonâs own Fiore family took home the grand prize on ABC Great Christmas Light Fight. This show features outrageous Christmas light displays by families from around the country that compete for bragging rights, as well as a grand prize of $50,000, for the best holiday display.
The mastermind behind the Concord Street display is none other than 23-year old bricklayer, Chas Fiore.
With the help of family and friends, Fiore was able to transform his front yard and driveway into a magical âdowntownâ Christmas scene, complete with townhouses, store fronts and itâs own candy store. It took over three months of building and planning to create this two-story city street facade and to decorate his two-story family home as well.
WILMINGTON â The main items for consideration at the Board of SelÂectmenâs meeting on MonÂday night pertained to a new recovery coach, parcel 13A at Cross Street and Main Street, and Chas Fioreâs spectacular ChristÂmas lights.
Wilmington Health and Recovery Coordinator SaÂmantha Reif introduced Recovery Coach Erin McCauley whoâs joining her and working across towns to facilitate weekly recovery meetings and providing tools and resources to anyone struggling with substance abuse.
Reif also mentioned that the funding for the position was secured after a two-year grant for a reÂcovÂery coach in the police deÂpartment ran out. She listed McCauleyâs professional experience and trainings, although sheâs not yet fully licensed but planning to be soon.
