I have been coming to the tree lighting for years. My granddaughters are girl scouts and I have been listening to them sing ever since they were Daisys. This was the best tree lighting ever. I don't recall ever seeing as many people enjoying themselves on the Town Hall Lawn. The horse drawn carriage ride, hot chocolate and arts and crafts were very entertaing for the children. It was wonderful to have Santa light the tree. Kudos to all involved.

Mike Tenarro and the recreation department did a great job with the celebration and had a little something for everyone.
