The Garden City Chamber of Commerce held its 57th annual Village Tree Lighting on Sunday, Dec. 4, at the Village Gazebo. Sponsored for the 17th year by Astoria Federal Savings, the event featured the Crash & Burn rock band with a selection of holiday tunes and the Garden City High School Vocal Jazz Ensemble directed by Robert Ludwig.
Santa Claus arrived on a huge truck to assist Mayor Brudie for the lighting of the Village Trees, including one at Village Hall and the other at Franklin and Stewart avenues.
