Holiday Tree Lighting 2020

Things may look different this year, but traditions are traditions!

We are planning a way to keep Sandy's Tree Lighting on the calendar. The ceremony will be a combination, live-streamed, and drive through.

Watch the tree lighting via Facebook and YouTube with a special season's greeting from City Council and the Mayor. Drive-by Sandy's Centennial Plaza to see the tree and pick up a craft, drop off a letter to Santa, donate toys, and have a cookie.

We are accepting donations to fill Kiwanis barrels for toys. We are especially in need of toys and gift cards for older kids and teens.

Take & Make Craft - Help us make handcrafted cards for our local Seniors. cards need to be turned into the library by December 20th.

Write a letter to Santa before the event and drop it off in the mailbox next to the trolley where Santa will be parked. Santa will be waving to passers-by.

Treats and warm cocoa for the kids, coffee for adults.

A Celebration of Heroes: The 75th Anniversary of D-Day

"On June 6, 1944, some 156,000 American, British, and Canadian forces landed on fives beaches along a 50-mile stretch of coast of France’s Normandy region. The Battle of Normandy, also known as D-Day, lasted from June 1944 to August 1944 and resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and has been called the beginning of the end of war in Europe."
