The Palgrave community gathered for a night of holiday magic on December 3.
The community’s annual tree lighting ceremony was held by the Rotary Club of Palgrave that evening. There were musical performances from talented local youth, pictures with Santa, and fire barrels going to keep people warm.
Palgrave Rotary had its chuckwagon at the event, serving out free hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and hot dogs to guests who could make a donation to Rotary’s efforts in the community if they wanted.
A bouncy castle was set up on Brawton Drive, which was temporarily shut down for the tree lighting, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by kids at the event. There was a craft table where kids could make their own ornaments with the help of volunteers, and later in the evening the winner of Palgrave Rotary’s Christmas light contest was announced.
St. Iyke Ndubuisi, President of the Rotary Club of Palgrave, said everyone counted down before the official tree lighting and there was a cheer when the tree lit up.
“It’s an awesome turnout, the weather is good, and those kids, their voices are amazing,” said Ndubuisi at the event. “I’m proud of them, it’s a really fun evening.”
