Amherst Tree Lighting

Sunday, December 13th, 2009
Once again our beautiful town of Amherst had their Annual Amherst Tree Lighting event! We've been going to this since we've lived in Amherst and it is one of those things that makes you just totally love living in a small New England town - the togetherness of the community to celebrate! The Girl Scouts have been part of this tradition and lucky for me, I organized the singing part for the Girl Scouts for the Tree Lighting. This year they came in warm clothes, all bundled up with umbrellas, as it was raining! They were "Troopers" as they cheerfully sang their songs " Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells". We make our girl scouts strong and they can weather anything! Soooo very proud of them - Great job girls!!
Many of the girls from my Brownie Troop were here singing along with other Girls Scouts from Amherst and Mont Vernon - they were awesome!
