Thank you
A huge thank you to all the community organizations and countless volunteers that make this Town sparkle during the holidays. It has been a wonderful start to the holiday season with Window Wonderland, Hillsburgh Tree Lighting, the Santa Claus parade and numerous food and toy drives - to name just a few. It was so much fun handing out free skating passes to families along the parade route. Check out the skating schedule here.
