PINEHURST — Keeping with tradition, the Pinehurst/Kingston Lions Club will once again be hosting Pinehurst’s Christmas Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday.

Taking place at its usual location in the Barney’s Harvet Foods parking lot, the ceremony will kick off at 5:45 p.m. when the Pinehurst Elementary kindergarten class of Claire Lavigne, first-grade class of Julia Schatz and third-grade class of Sara Delgato begin singing Christmas songs.

“The young singers of Pinehurst Elementary really make the holiday celebration one to remember,” said Bruce Rumpel, Pinehurst/Kingston Lions events chairman.

Santa Claus will arrive at 6 p.m. atop a big red fire truck, courtesy of his friends at Shoshone County Fire District No. 2.

While taking in the lights, songs and Santa, attendees can look forward to hot cocoa, cookies and hot dogs provided by Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop No. 326.

Prizes will also be given away by raffle during the event, but winners must be present to claim their prize, so folks should dress warm if they plan to stick around.

“Plan on joining our celebration to get ready for the most magical part of the year,” Rumpel said. “Please dress warm, it might be very cold and possibly wet!”
