The holidays are just ahead, and the Town of Wilton is getting ready to make it official. On Friday, December 5^th, the public is invited to attend the Annual Tree Lighting at Gavin Park. The fun begins at 6 p.m., with holiday songs, led by Glenn Dorman at the piano. At 6:30 p.m., the lights will go up on Gavin Park’s beautiful Colorado Spruce tree. Then, at 6:45 p.m., Santa will arrive to meet and greet the crowd. From 6:45 – 8:45 p.m., the fun will continue, inside the Dailey Gym, where Santa will hand out candy, treats, and gifts. Lending Santa a hand will be Frosty, Rudolph, and Santa’s elves. There will be holiday movies for the little ones and more opportunities for everyone to sing more songs of the season. Refreshments will be served from 7 – 8:30 p.m.

 Maple Avenue Fire Department makes the night possible, with assistance from the Wilton EMS, Hannaford Bros., and Walmart. The evening is sponsored by Applebee’s.
