Winter Wonderland Opens With Tree Lighting at Nazzaro Center [Photos]

The Nazzaro Center hosted the 2nd Annual Winter Wonderland and Tree Lighting on Tuesday, December 3rd. The courtyard was transformed with a Christmas tree donated by George Hadaya and all the lights by Steven Virgilio.

Santa was on hand for the kids with special gifts, hot chocolate and caroling. State Rep. Aaron Michlewitz and City Councilor Lydia Edwards did the honors of flipping the switch at the Winter Wonderland constructed by Steven Virgilio. Inside, there was hot chocolate and kids crafts.
