Barrington celebrates the holidays with tree lighting
Event offers cookies, songs and a visit from Santa
The annual tree-lighting celebration drew an excited crowd to Barrington Town Hall on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 2.
There was plenty of excitement leading up to the tree-lighting: Youngsters spent time decorating (and then eating) cookies, playing a giant-sized game of Candyland, getting their faces painted and writing letters to Santa.
A little before 4 p.m., Santa arrived in front of the town hall — much to the delight of the crowd, he arrived in a fire truck. Children quickly surrounded Santa, sharing high-fives and handshakes.
Groups from Barrington High School, Barrington Middle School and Arts Alive sang songs for the crowd and at about 5 p.m., the evergreen in front of Barrington Town Hall was lit.
