There are many ways to mark the holiday season in Westport.
The lighting of the tree in front of Town Hall is a great one.
1st Selectwoman Jen Tooker did the honors a few minutes ago. She was joined by her father and daughter, the Staples Orphenians, a gaggle of kids, and plenty of Westporters who are glad that — after a COVID-induced year off — this hometown tradition is back.
The Orphenians sang holiday tunes …
… former 1st Selectman Jim Marpe wheeled his grandson Charlie …
… his successor Jen Tooker led the countdown …
… and the 2021 holiday tree was lit. (Photos/Dan Woog)
