Fort Hamilton Army Base becomes home for the holidays
Christmas is right around the corner, and everywhere you look communities are banding together to create holly jolly memories as they light their trees in festive glows.
On Friday, December 4, the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton hosted its Annual Tree Lighting Spectacular. While the spirited event lasted from 4 to 9 p.m. the lighting of the tree took place at 5:30 p.m. However, this year there was the added attraction of a Holiday Market.
The event was meant to showcase a festive feel as the Holiday Market took on a German theme with over 40 vendors, traditional food and fun family activities including a visit from Santa on his sleigh, as well as carousel rides. The children of the local Narrows Community Theater, garbed in costumes of green and red, also entertained the crowd as they sang Christmas carols.
