This Week In West Hempstead: Week Of December 24th

THIS WEEK IN WEST HEMPSTEAD — DECEMBER 24 

Today’s episode covers a lot happening around town: the Santa Fire Department Run through West Hempstead (thank you WHFD for this beloved holiday tradition), a winter storm forecast  and a local house fire.

We’re also talking about a fiery multi-vehicle crash on the Southern State, a $1 million Powerball ticket sold nearby in Valley Stream and tonight’s big drawing, library highlights featuring The Pickle People, newly opened parking lot at Congregation Anshei Shalom, the holiday rush at Riesterer’s Bakery, and we wrap up with predictions for West Hempstead in 2026.

Wishing everyone a safe, warm, and happy holiday season from all of us.
