The fresh flower arrangements provided by the garden center’s owners, Kurt and Donna Dorsey, have been prominently displayed atop the fallen veteran casket during the parades. In photo above, the Dorseys display their plaque of appreciation as Post 7086 mem- bers George Hoogenhuis, Joe Letterese, Peter Cantilina, and Commander Bruce Strenberg, from left, look on. Midland Park’s annual tree lighting festivities will get underway at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6 at the borough hall parking lot, 280 Godwin Ave. (rain date Monday, Dec. 9 announced on hotline 201-652-2747). Residents young and old are invited to take part. The Highland School Band will sound off the celebration in anticipation of Santa’s arrival in a fire truck. After pull- ing the switch to light up the tree for the season, Santa will welcome children onto his lap and listen to their requests, while his elves give out candy canes and coloring books. Don’t let the cold keep you away. Thanks to many gen- erous sponsors, there will be plenty of warmth, entertain- ment and refreshments inside a large heated tent. The Hot Dog Caboose is also on board and will be selling chili, hot dogs, soup and coffee all evening.
