Members of Carbon County senior centers have ornaments on display at the State Capitol Main Rotunda.

The ornaments are among hundreds of handmade ornaments hung on the Christmas tree that were created by older adults from 135 Senior Community Centers in 46 counties in Pennsylvania.

The Christmas tree will remain in the State Capitol Main Rotunda until Jan. 8, 2025.

“The Department of Aging is pleased to, once again, see the tremendous response of ornaments submitted by the Senior Community Centers. These ornaments and the tree will help spread good cheer and unity to the hundreds of thousands of visitors to our State Capitol during this holiday season,” said Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich. “We are proud to join the Area Agencies on Aging and the Senior Community Centers that submitted the ornaments to display the creativity of the older adults who hand made them. I thank all the older adults who contributed ornaments as part of this annual holiday tradition.”

Senior Community Centers that submitted holiday ornaments include:

• Carbon County — Jim Thorpe/Penn-Kidder Senior Center, Lehighton Senior Center, Weatherly Senior Center

• Lehigh County Area Agency on Aging on behalf of the 12 Senior Community Centers

• Monroe County — Loder Senior Center
