More is indeed better when it comes to the third annual Lehighton Christmas in the park event.

Autumn Abelovsky, secretary of the Lehighton Borough Parks & Recreation Board, said the community tree lighting will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 2.

“Due to overwhelming interest in the event, the Parks & Recreation Board has expanded the event to 130 trees for the 2018 season,” Abelovsky said.

Last year’s event had 115 trees. The inaugural event in 2016 had 73 trees.

Tree decorating will be all day Nov. 30, all day Dec. 1, and until 2 p.m. on Dec. 2. Trees will be limited to the first 130 applications received.

Abelovsky said tree adoptions will be accepted for a $40 donation, and added that tree decorating will be open Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and until 2 p.m. Dec. 2.

This year’s Community Christmas Celebration is sponsored by Foothill Farm, Lehigh Fire Co. No. 1, Jim Thorpe Neighborhood Bank, Next Era Energy, Andrew P. Ovsak Funeral Home, and the Borough of Lehighton Parks & Recreation Board. Proceeds from the event are used for future events in the borough.

All tree decorations must be removed between Jan. 11-13, 2019. Any decorations that are not collected will be discarded by the borough at the time of tree mulching.

Forms to adopt a holiday tree, along with all guidelines, can be picked up at the Lehighton Municipal Building, Old Time Corner Store, and Jenny’s Sweets & More.
