Our best year yet at the farm!!! Thank you is just not enough! To the Mitchells- you open Woodside up to us every year so graciously and do so much in promoting Hockessin Fire Co Appreciation Day. You are amazing! All of the sponsors this year- thank you so much! Those that stopped and bought food from us, it was so good meeting first timers and visiting with those we knew. So many friendly faces! Woodside staff- thank you for keeping us all cool with all that delicious ice cream!! And to the stars of the show, who I choose to refer to as Lola and Lulu - girls, thank you for showing off your beauty to the crowd, even if you kept them waiting to make someone $500 richer!!

The Hockessin Fire Company and Ladies Auxiliary extends our deepest thoughts and prayers to the family of Christopher N. Skrobot, as well as to the members of the Claymont Fire Company and the New Castle County Police Department during this incredibly difficult time.

We stand with our public safety family and honor Christopher’s service and sacrifice.It is with deep sadness that the New Castle County Division of Police announces the passing of Detective Christopher N. Skrobot on Thursday, February 5, 2026

Detective Christopher Skrobot began his distinguished career with the New Castle County Police Department on January 19, 2016, as a member of the 42nd Recruit Class. Following his graduation from the Police Academy, he was assigned to B-Squad in the Patrol Division, where he quickly earned a reputation as a dedicated Officer who led by example, consistently demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and a strong commitment to the community.

In October 2020, after completing the rigorous Police Motorcycle Operators Course, he became a certified member of the New Castle County Police Motorcycle Unit, where he proudly rode a motorcycle for escorts, parades, and special events.

In December 2020, Detective Skrobot was transferred to the Evidence Detective Unit, where he made an immediate impact and quickly established himself as a thorough, meticulous investigator, a role he held for the remainder of his career.

Detective Skrobot was also a dedicated volunteer with the Claymont Fire Company, committing himself to public service, a commitment that remained at the heart of his career.

In April 2024, Chris was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of blood cancer. Despite this challenge, he continued to serve his community and support his family with courage and dedication.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Detective Christopher Skrobot during this difficult time. His dedication to serving others will always be remembered by those who had the honor of working alongside him. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, integrity, and commitment to his community.
