Palatine Annual Tree Lighting Illuminates
This year's tree lighting ceremony did not disappoint. Santa rode in on a fire truck, lit the tree and visited with the little girls and boys. Refreshments were enjoyed, as Christmas music filled the air.
The night was brisk, and the annual tree lighting was as festive and enjoyable as always.
Santa came to Towne Square with lights blaring atop the Palatine Fire Department fire truck he rode in on, and he lit the tree up against the dark, fall sky.
Holiday music was provided by the Do Re Mi Choir, Treble and Intermezzo Choir and Concert Honors Choirs. The Illinois Youth Dance Theatre showcased characters from their annual Nutcracker show.
