An estimated crowd of 200 flocked to the center of Rindge on Friday night for the town’s annual Christmas tree lighting.

In addition to lighting the tree, Night Out With the Family offered Rindge families a chance to see a performance from the Rindge Memorial School chorus, the announcement of Rindge Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year, an appearance by Santa Claus, and fireworks.
