The Village of Farmingdale held its Annual Holiday Tree Lighting on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. The event takes place each year at the Village Green, where the lighting of the tricentennial tree takes place. The event is sponsored by the village and the Farmingdale Bethpage Historical Society, in cooperation with the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club of Farmingdale. Each year a choral group from the Farmingdale School District performs a selection of holiday songs accompanied by the South Shore Jazz Ensemble. This year the Howitt Sixth-Grade Chorus performed. Village Historian William Johnston once again served as the event's emcee. The Kiwanis Club provided hot drinks and cookies after the event.
