Peru’s Christmas Tree is illuminated and beautiful
Peru – December 2, 2022 – It was fun at Little Ausable River Park tonight as the Peru Girl Scouts sang Christmas carols and Mrs. Marti Cabana lit Peru’s Town Christmas Tree. Just as she was about to throw the switch, the Peru Fire Department’s decorated trucks passed by. The kids were excited.
Dianne Miller, Peru’s Town Clerk, was the MC. Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald and Counselors Jim Douglass, Melvin Irwin, and Rick Barber also enjoyed the festivities.
