A Free Community Event
Celebration of Lights
Celebrate the beginning of the season with our Annual Christmas Tree Lighting!
Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies as the sounds of the season fill the air with performances by local school musical groups.
Visit the petting zoo and pony rides before Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by fire truck to light the tree at 5:00. Children are then welcome to share their holiday wishes with Santa.
Don't forget to view the Live Nativity in closing!
We are looking for a Chair and Committee Members to help plan this event for 2025. Please consider sharing your time!
