LYNDONVILLE – The Lyndonville community decorated 85 Christmas trees at Veterans Park this holiday season. The lights were turned on for the first time this evening, when Santa flipped the switch at the “North Pole” at the park.
The trees are decorated by families as memorials, and also by businesses and organizations in the community.
The trees will stay up until about New Year’s Day.
Santa arrives by a horse-drawn wagon down Main Street at about 5 p.m.
A crowd gathers to see Santa and the lights get turned on the trees.
People walk down the paths to see all the trees in what has been a Lyndonville tradition since 2013.
The tree in front is decorated by the Woodward family.
After flipping the switch to light up the trees, Santa went to the Village Hall to meet with kids. Lily Hamilton, 10, of Lyndonville was among the kids eager to share a wish list with Santa.
Some of the trees are reflected in Johnson Creek.
The Lyndonville school chorus sang several Christmas carols before the trees were lighted up.
