The Village’s Holiday Season Starts at the Triangle
The lights are about to go up in the Village, and there is a job for anyone who likes a string of bulbs and a little conversation in the cold.
The Historic Old Hickory Village Neighborhood Association will decorate the community tree at the triangle of Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the work day, not the ceremony. The annual tree lighting is set for Saturday, Dec. 5, at 6 p.m. The association has also canceled its December community meeting so neighbors can enjoy the holiday season; monthly meetings otherwise continue at 7 p.m. at the Old Hickory Community Center.
A few days before the decorating party, the Old Hickory Area Chamber of Commerce will hold its Thanksgiving luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Life Care Center of Old Hickory Village, 1250 Robinson Road. Tickets are $20, plus a 50-cent service fee, and the center is hosting. It is a chance to see familiar faces and say thank you before the rush of the week.
If you have a stepladder, a spare afternoon, or simply a good coat, the triangle is the place to start. Come help dress the tree on the 21st, then come back with the kids on Dec. 5 and watch it shine. That is how a Village winter begins — together, under the same lights.
