Auburn Hills, MI, December 18, 2012 – Genisys Credit Union recently sponsored the Chesterfield Township Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 7, 2012, at the Chesterfield Township Municipal Offices.
This festive event included Christmas caroling, a holiday craft, cookies, cocoa and Santa’s arrival by fire truck.
“Santa’s arrival is a memorable holiday experience enjoyed by the young and old alike,” said Amanda Willard, Chesterfield Township Parks and Recreation Programmer. “Santa not only gives kids a candy cane but also a special wrapped gift.”
Over 300 people attended the annual tree lighting event to see the Township Supervisor present Santa with the key to the Township and to participate in the community sing-a-long.
“We are lucky to have the continued participation of the Chippewa Valley Alumni Choir who captures the spirit of the season with their uplifting vocals,” said Willard. “They are always a delight.”
The neighboring historical village also opened its doors for guests to step back in time for an old fashion Christmas celebration, and the historical Weller School House was available to visit.
“The Tree Lighting Ceremony is one of the many wonderful events that Genisys sponsors in Chesterfield Township throughout the year,” said Jackie Buchanan, President/CEO. “It’s a great way for families to celebrate all that the season has to offer.”
