Tree Lighting, Santa Draw Hundreds to Watertown Square
|
The grassy area of Watertown Square teamed with anticipation Friday evening as scores of children and their parents waited for Santa Claus arrive. The fifth annual Watertown Belmont Chamber of Commerce Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration proved to be a big draw on an unseasonably mild night. This year, the Rotary Club of Watertown joined with the Chamber to sponsor the event. When Santa rolled into the Square on his sleigh, a bright red Watertown fire engine, he was mobbed by enthusiastic youngsters. After Santa greeted the children, and posing for some photos, the countdown for the tree lighting was lead by Chamber President Mike Albano.
