MILLBROOK — Bringing holiday lights to Millbrook, the annual display of lighted trees along Franklin Avenue and throughout the village is a community effort. An estimated 75 trees were strung with lights by volunteers on Saturday, Nov. 23. Decorating the tree in front of Reardon Briggs Hardware was staff member Courtney Lundgren, ably assisted by Dan Cooper.
 

Community thanks go to the organizers, members of the Millbrook Business Association and Reardon Briggs, the latter providing the strands of lights. Additional thanks to Tribute Gardens for donating the trees, and the Village Highway Department and crew for setting up the trees ready for decorating.
