Thank you Hightstown for such an amazing Light Up the Lake! This was our biggest event yet, and we flew through all our pumpkins! Please tag us in your photos, we’d love to share what you created!

Thank you to RISE, EWEA, the Hightstown Library, the Hightstown Elks, and our local Girl Scouts for offering fun crafts to all the families. A BIG thank you to our talented commissioner Peri Orlando for face painting, and of course, shout out to the wonderful part king, DJ Sammy.

And finally, thank you to our wonderful commissioners, who volunteer their time and talents at all our events, and make these free events possible 🧡
