Nominate Someone Great To Light The Kennedy Plaza Christmas Tree

We want to know who has done great things for our community this year; whether it is a neighbor helping a neighbor, a teacher going the extra mile, someone serving in the military, or just someone or a group that deserves the recognition, we want to hear about them. All of the names submitted will be imprinted on ornaments to be placed on the Christmas Tree in Kennedy Plaza.



Of the names submitted, two will be chosen to join City officials in lighting the Kennedy Plaza Christmas Tree on December 6th.
