MILFORD, PA — Every year the Milford Lions Club lights up the streets of Milford for the holidays beginning on the first Saturday of November. Volunteers string lights in all the trees in anticipation of the annual tree lighting, which will take place on Saturday, December 6 at the Community House at the corner of Broad and Harford streets. The Lions also put up the tree on the lawn and light the star at Milford Knob. The lights continue to shine through the holidays and into February.

While this is a labor of love according to Milford Lion Bill Harkness, it also takes money. This year the Milford Music Festival will donate $500 to the effort, raised at their annual Share the Harvest event in September. They are also seeking additional volunteers to help the crew string the lights. The Lions will be meeting each Saturday and Sunday at 8 a.m. at the Community House and would love some more help. Contact Bill Harkness at bghark@ptd.net with any questions or to volunteer. Monetary contributions are also welcome.
