<p>The Alton community came together to share Christmas cheer last weekend.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On December 14, the Alton Village Association and Alton Legion hosted their annual tree lighting ceremony event.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Residents sang Christmas carols, counted down together before the tree was lit, and listened to Caledon's Town Crier Andrew Welch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The tree lighting ceremony took place at the Alton Village Square, a quaint and beautiful park in the heart of the village.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After the tree was lit, residents were invited to the Alton Legion for refreshments and fellowship.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Santa Claus even came out to visit at this wonderful community event.&nbsp;</p>
