Nothing was going to stop Buena Vista community in Elizabeth Township from spreading hope, cheer, and friendship at their first annual Light Up Night on Saturday, December 5, 2020. The Buena Vista Fire Department decorated and lit up a tree they received from a resident of the community years ago when it was just a sapling. The tree, which stands outside of the Buena Vista Post Office, now towers at over 9 feet tall.

The community comes together to sing Christmas carols in a candlelight setting.

After the lighting of the tree, the attendees of the event sang Christmas carols while holding a lit candle creating a warm and inviting scene. The fire department also collected unwrapped toys for the local children of the community that their families have fallen into hardship due to the 2020 year. The department collected two tables and 2 extra large boxes of toys to go to families in need. In addition to collecting the toys, they also provided refreshments for people coming in from the cold such as hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream, apple cider, and cookies.

The night wouldn't have been complete without a special North Pole visitor...Santa Claus! The children that came to the celebration had the chance to tell the big guy just exactly what they wanted to find under their Christmas tree this year.
