Winter Lights in Park brightens Adams Township
ADAMS TWP — The township’s Winter Lights in the Park premiered this weekend with a visit from Santa Claus, carolers, Girl Scouts, bonfires and fireworks.
“I walked here,” said Adams Township resident Bev Weston, who was one of the first to arrive at the community park on Friday, Dec. 9. “ I’d gotten a message on my phone about it, and I thought, ‘My goodness, I’m going to that!’”
For the last two years, the event was limited by COVID-19 protocols. This year, following the opening Friday and photographs with Santa Claus on Saturday, Dec. 10, the park will continue to be decorated with lights.
“We’ve driven through before, my husband and I, but this is such a wonderful night to walk here,” Weston said. “It’s beautiful.”
Weston was in good company. Residents gathered around the bonfires in the growing dark to toast s’mores, chatted over hot chocolate and lined up to visit Santa Claus.
“I am so excited to be here,” Santa said. “I’m going to be here tonight and tomorrow night.”
On Dec. 10, the township will be hosting professional pictures with Santa in the park’s schoolhouse. Registration was requested but walk-ins are still welcome.
