On Friday, Dec. 6, the Wellington Amphitheater held its annual tree-lighting ceremony hosted by the Wellington Village Council, which assisted in the countdown to lighting the Christmas tree. Santa Claus made his annual appearance, joined by Elsa, Olaf, Elmo and a walking dreidel. Both children and adults alike took pictures with Santa and the surprise guests. Later in the evening, the Blues Brothers Soul Band performed a tribute concert. PHOTOS BY ERIN DAVISSON
