Help Sandy Victims at Farmington Hills Holiday Lights Event
In addition to a sing-along and a visit with Santa, you can donate non-perishable foods, toiletries, cleaning supplies and more.
Get into the holiday spirit and help the victims of Superstorm Sandy on Tuesday, during the City of Farmington Hills 20th Annual Holiday Lights ceremony, held at Fire Station #5 on the city's municipal campus at 11 Mile and Orchard Lake Roads.
During the 6:30 p.m. event, city officials will flip the switch on a 20-foot candle, which represents the community's commitment to peace and unity. After the ceremony, Santa arrives at Fire Station #5, and refreshments will be served. The Farmington Hills Youth Choir will lead a community sing-along; other participants include Miss Farmington Elena Pavlicas and her court, and Farmington-Farmington Hills District Girl Scouts.
