Start off your December celebrations with the Rye400 Tree Lighting, Saturday, December 2, 2023, from 3:00-4:30pm on Parsons Field. Bring the family to toast marshmallows by the campfire, enjoy an animal petting zoo, hang student-made ornaments on the tree, have a sweet treat and a drink, and have your picture taken in front of a HUGE, decorated farm tractor! The tree lighting will take place at 4:15pm.  Also, you can bring gently used or new winter clothes to benefit Cross Roads House in Portsmouth.  All this is sponsored by Tate & Foss/Sotheby’s International Realty.
