The annual Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration in the historic square in Manheim will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, Dec. 8. The Manheim Lions Club has passed the coordinating of the event to Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, whose youth group, led by pastor Corby Burkholder, is decorating the tree.
People of all ages may enjoy the evening filled with performances, caroling and an interactive Nativity photo station. Local performers will include Cricket's Performing Arts and Balance Dance Studio. Food and beverages will be available for purchase to support local organizations and businesses.
Donations will be collected for the Manheim Central Food Pantry and Toys for Tots. Nonperishable food items or new, unwrapped toys can be brought to the event.
For the finale of the evening, the winner of a "Flip the Switch" drawing will have the honor of lighting the tree. The tree has been donated by Canine Country Club.
