LYNDONVILLE – The Village of Lyndonville welcomed Santa to Veterans Park this evening, when he flipped the switch to turn on the lights of 82 Christmas trees decorated at Veterans Park.
The village started the tradition of decorating the trees in 2013 with 26 the first year. The number steadily grew reaching a record high of 98 in 2022. Last year there were 85, and now 82 this year.
The trees will be lighted up until just after New Year’s Day.
After he flipped the switch at the “North Pole Electric Company” at veterans Park, Santa went into the Village Hall where he greeted a long line of families.
This group includes the Freeman siblings, who are the children of Devan Freeman, Lyndonville’s DPW superintendent. The kids include from left Nora, Carson (standing), Carter and Averie.
Here are some more photos of the trees, including the one in front decorated by Lyndonville’s Class of 1982.
