Shadow Boxes

Each shadow box is hand-crafted by retired HFD firefighter, Patrick Conrad. His 32 years of service to the fire department gives Pat a unique take on preserving the memories that are created while working to keep the community safe. Each shadow box is carefully crafted with high quality wood, stained by hand and fitted with a personally hand-etched glass door, ensuring that your shadow box is a one-of-a-kind piece of art to display your keepsakes.
