RING BELL
Noon • Jackson Community Church
Community Event: ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING
3:30 – Santa Arrival & 4:30pm – tree lighting • Gazebo by Historical Society
Jackson holds its annual tree-lighting, when Santa Comes to Town. Masks required: social distancing required. Christmas Farm Inn & Spa will provide hot chocolate and cookies which will be put out for each person to take as you socially distance. Santa will be available on the gazebo to chat with the children as they gather around and Lisa DuFault will be available to snap a photo here and there. Covid-19 restrictions mandate that Santa does not get within 6 feet of any child … but that won’t stop him from waving and bellowing out his hellos. Candy Canes and Goodies will be available … Santa will be around from 3:30pm. until he lights the tree which is scheduled for 4:30pm.
