Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony 2022

Thanks to everyone who shared in making our annual #TreeLighting Ceremony yesterday a hit!
As always, we were glad to see so many of our neighbors and friends come together to celebrate the holiday season with music, fun, and a special visit from Santa himself. Manchester Recreation never fails to impress, and their 2022 winter wonderland at Town Hall was no exception. This year was extra special as the Township’s new holiday tree was ready to make its debut, adorned with 3,400 lights!
Mayor Robert Hudak welcomed all those in attendance, and on behalf of all of us at Manchester Township, conveyed warm wishes for a joyful and healthy holiday season. We’re thankful for everyone who attended and shared in this special event!
Special guests included Council President Joan Brush and Councilman James Vaccaro, as well as Reverend Rittinger who offered the opening Invocation. Holiday performances of festive seasonal classics were given by the Manchester School Chorus, Cub Scout Pack 44, and Marisiya Goins.
A special “Thank You” goes out to everyone who participated in creating this special annual event, including the Manchester Police Department, Manchester Division of Emergency Services , Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company, Manchester Volunteer Fire Company, Whiting Volunteer Fire Company, Manchester Municipal staff, and Manchester Buildings and Grounds staff.
We wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!
