Town Tree Lighting Celebrated (virtually) Tuesday Night
Through a Facebook Live Video Feed, the Town’s tree was lit by the Board of Selectmen on the steps of Town Hall Tuesday night. First Selectman Jim Marpe addressed the online crowd: “It’s disappointing that we don’t have hot chocolate with a lot of kids, and the [Staples High School] Orphenians are not here with us to celebrate - but nevertheless, despite COVID, and all the challenges that we had this year, we still want to continue on with a thing that gives us some happiness and some joy in the holiday season.”
