Jessica O\u2019Donnell, EVP of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber mentioned, \u201clast year we saw well over 4,000 people in attendance. This year we are expecting even more in attendance with the new additions of the live reindeer, ice carving demonstration and added performances.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event is truly one of my favorites for the community! Every year we try to add something new to enhance it and make it even jollier than the last. All of this could not be done without the support of everyone at the Borough of Hellertown, our participants\u2019 day off and all our sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing everyone\u2019s smiling faces, the excitement on the children\u2019s faces and all the community support, makes 6 months of planning and the hard work of the committee all worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayor David Heintzelman mentioned, \u201cWe are very thankful for our Chamber and everything they have planned for this evening. Light Up Night is a Hellertown-Lower Saucon favorite and has grown substantially in attendance and activities offered over the last few years in our partnership \u2013 we are excited to see what 2019 has in store!\u00a0Please join us to see the beauty of our community and to ring in the holiday season at this festive event.\u201d<\/p>\n
