“Lights On is a great, family-friendly celebration to kickoff the holiday season in our community,” Holiday Committee member Sue Medeiros said. “It has been wonderful to see this small-town event become a holiday tradition in the near 25 years it’s been held. The holiday committee has enjoyed watching it grow through the years and we would like to thank the town departments, local businesses and community groups who help us make Lights On a success each year.”
