The magic of Christmas could be seen on the faces of children in Hellertown Friday.
The 2015 holiday season in the Saucon Valley began with the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber’s annual Light-Up Night event in Hellertown Friday night.
The evening festivities at Detwiller Plaza and Borough Hall included a dance performance by En Avant School of Dance students, and culminated with Santa Claus’s arrival. Santa then visited with boys and girls inside the municipal building.
