Town volunteers plant tree, target Dec. 7 for Townhouse holiday lighting; gazebo upgrades and power stub discussed
Summary
Volunteers reported a newly planted tree and plans to light the Townhouse gazebo area for a Dec. 7 ceremony; volunteers and highway staff will assess power needs and a local contractor, Kevin Sacco, offered donated labor pending parts funding.
Paul reported that a tree was planted near the Townhouse site and that a tentative date of Sunday, Dec. 7, was being held for a tree-lighting ceremony. The proposal focuses on lighting the gazebo and adjacent trees this year, with possible mechanical trees and donated lighting displays used to augment the site.
Paul said he had inspected displays in Connecticut and Nashville, N.H., and would work with parks, the garden club and community volunteers to prepare the gazebo. Kevin Sacco agreed to donate some time and materials for gazebo work; board members said they could cover parts or PVC if needed and noted the breaker and junction box at the gazebo may need replacement.
The plan calls for highway to provide plowing and logistical support for the event; volunteers will evaluate whether power can be run underground to the tree or whether work should be controlled from the gazebo breaker box. Paul said he will store some extra lighting in Springfield and bring over what is needed for this year; the immediate focus is the gazebo and tree lighting with potential expansion in future years.
