Hometown is more than just a word – it’s the remembrance of growing up in a secure, loving environment. It’s knowing your neighbors your entire life; singing in the school choir or playing on the baseball team, getting your Brownie badge. So, when we use the phrase “Hometown Holiday” here in Glens Falls, we really mean just that.
We’re inviting you and your family to our Hometown Holiday event where the community has come together to celebrate:
Tree Lighting Ceremony
Join Mayor John A. Diamond at 5:30pm in City Park as he lights up the Holiday Tree.
Performance by The Flying Fingers/Association for the Hearing Impaired.
