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.

The town will light its Christmas Tree at Little Ausable River Park on Friday, December 2, at 7 p.m. Marti Cabana, wife of the late town justice Larry Cabana, has the honor of throwing the switch.
Peru’s annual tractor parade will take place on December 10, beginning at 6 p.m.
Highway Superintended Michael Farrell reported that the Telegraph – Sullivan Road culvert replacement project is almost complete. He expects to remove the barrios in a few days.
Water-Sewer-Parks Superintendent Courtney Tetreault reported that the Elm Street sewer project is almost complete; however, Luck Brothers will need to do a little paving and sidewalk repair on or near Lewis Street next spring.
Supervisor Brandy McDonald reported that Peru maintains its A+ bond rating when Peru borrows money for capital expenditures. A high rating is essential in obtaining the lowest interest rates.
The board approved payment #3 of $429,742.15 to Luck Brothers for its work on the Elm St. sewer project.
