CANTON – As Canton Police light the way with torches, Santa Claus will once again roll down Main Street to kick off Canton’s annual Holiday of Lights. This year’s event will be celebrated Friday, Nov. 25 on the village green.

Beginning at 5 p.m., Dr. Mike Smith and his Trout Brook Belgian horses will be offering free hay wagon rides around the village, beginning in front of the First Presbyterian Church on the Park. Canned goods will be accepted to be donated to Canton’s Food Pantry.

There will be carol singing with Diane Foote in the park.

Santa and Mayor Charlotte Ramsay will light the Robin Crowell Memorial Christmas tree on the village green at 6 p.m. There will also be a Veteran’s Memorial Tree full of blue lights. Santa will be joined by Rudolph, Frosty, Micky & Minnie, Tigger, Pooh Bear and the Gingerbread Couple. There will be opportunities for photos, so participants are reminded to bring a camera.

After the tree and street lighting, children are invited to join Santa at the Presbyterian Church, 17 Park St., where he will be sharing candy and books. Cocoa and cookies will also be available.
