“They were all fabulous,” said Councilwoman Suzanne Smith. “Thank you everyone for participating and thank you for helping to light up our town.”
This was the second new Christmas event in Nesquehoning this year.
Earlier this month, the town welcomed Santa, as well as two live reindeer to the first Christmas on The Hill in New Columbus park.
A total of 29 Christmas trees were sponsored for the event, lighting up the park in a variety of Christmas themes.
If you missed the event, the trees will remain up, decorated and lit nightly until Orthodox Christmas on Jan. 7.
