12 ballerina shoe lollipops - ballet themed party

If you missed the tree lighting ceremonies last weekend, you missed two joyous parties. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department hosted an event at the Community Center on Friday night with the many vendors being winners. Several Elf Market vendors displayed their wares throughout the building. At the 4th annual Rockaway tree lighting on Saturday more than 500 people showed up to dance, sing, be merry and enjoy a lot of entertainment. The Chamber of Commerce and the many businesses that sponsored the event deserve much appreciation.
