Northborough Announces Annual Tree Lighting

From the Northborough Community Affairs Committee:

The Northborough Annual Tree Lighting will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2016 starting at 5:00 pm at the corner of Blake Street and Rt. 20. This year’s celebration will feature a children’s chorus singing holiday carols, holiday bells for the children to ring, hot cocoa, and cookies (while supplies last). Pizza is being donated by Northboro House of Pizza. We are asking for monetary donations for pizza which will go directly to the Northborough Food Pantry.

The annual tree lighting began in 1968 in honor of the memory of Neil Ellsworth, an Army private first class, who was killed in Vietnam in 1967 at the age of 19.

This event will be the grand finale to the Northboro Holiday Trolley. The Trolley is a ride up and down Main Street from 12 pm to 5 pm, sponsored by local merchants and small businesses. A raffle will be held at the tree lighting for those patrons who participated in the trolley collecting raffle tickets from retailers and restaurants along the route. For more information on the trolley please visit here.

Thank you to our tree lighting sponsors: Jacob Stein Family Dentistry, Wegmans, Starbucks, and Panera.
