3rd Annual Tree Lighting Celebration on December 7th at 5:30pm

Join us, along with Fox 29 and Moorestown’s own Kathy Orr on the front lawn of the Community House to continue this memorable tradition celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.

On Monday, December 7 at 5:30 PM, the holiday season officially begins in Moorestown as our friends and family gather on the front lawn of the Community House for the 3rd Annual Tree Lighting Celebration.

“When we brought this event to the community 3 years ago, we hoped that it would become a tradition, and based on the turnout and feedback from past years, it appears we have achieved that goal” says Laurie Palko, Board Member and Chair of the Tree Lighting Committee. Brad Kenney, Executive Director for the Community House confirms, “Our vision is always to bring people together and bond everyone to our town and to each other. The Tree Lighting is a perfect example as it unites friends, families and organizations in such a positive way. I am thrilled that we are able to bring this tradition to our community.”

Listen for the Town Crier on the front lawn at 5:30 PM for the start of the festivities, which include:

· A children’s story by Timothy R. Hollybottom, Elf extraordinaire

· Musical entertainment by the Philly POPS and the Moorestown High School Madrigals

· Collection of new or gently used children’s coats by MooreKids and new toys by Live Civilly

· Hot chocolate donated by Brandywine Senior Living

· Cookies and water contributed by Wegmans

· Candy canes passed around by Community House Board Members and Staff

The event will culminate with the lighting of our 20’ Norway Spruce, generously donated by the Palko Family, decorated with stunning lights graciously provided by Moorestown Hardware, with the labor to hang the lights being donated by Hyperion Tree Service.

The tree lighting itself, which will occur on or close to 6:15, will be followed by a drive by visit from Santa on the fire truck!
