Tree Lighting Ceremony kicks off the Holiday Season!


Main Street McConnellsburg hosted a wonderfully successful tree lighting ceremony filled with live entertainment, hot cocoa, sweet treats, and even a special appearance by Santa!

The festivities began at 4 p.m. with music provided by Music Smith DJ. On the microphone, Justin Miller and Trent Sowers kept the evening lively with shout-outs, entertainment, and plenty of holiday cheer. They even assisted Santa himself in lighting the tree!

A huge thank-you to all the volunteers and community members who came out and made the event such a memorable night. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Fulton County Fair Association Shines Bright with Festival of Lights



The holiday season in Fulton County is glowing a little brighter this year thanks to the incredible dedication and hard work of the Fulton County Fair Association. Their annual Festival of Lights at the Fulton County Fairgrounds has once again transformed the space into a sparkling winter wonderland—one that brings joy, tradition, and community spirit to families across the region.

Months of planning, preparation, and behind-the-scenes work go into creating this magical display. From elaborate light installations to festive scenes that delight visitors of all ages, the Festival of Lights is a true labor of love. The Fair Association’s commitment to providing a memorable holiday experience is evident in every shimmering detail.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of the participants, partners, and volunteers whose time, creativity, and enthusiasm help make this event possible year after year. Their contributions ensure that the Festival of Lights remains one of Fulton County’s most treasured holiday traditions.

As the fairgrounds illuminate the night sky, they remind us of the power of community and the warmth that comes from celebrating the season together. ✨🎄
