As our neighbors enjoyed sleigh\nrides, visits with Santa, hot cocoa, and other fun activities, we were\nincredibly proud to be a part of the festivities and our community. Below, you\u2019ll\nlearn how we participated in the event and hope that you\u2019ll join us again next\nyear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Chittenango Tree Lighting Event?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, Chittenango hosts an event to get the community\nexcited about the holiday season. Not only do Santa and Mrs. Claus join the fun,\nbut the Chittenango Middle School Choir and Wood Winds Ensembles play music for\neveryone in attendance. There\u2019s also free cocoa and cookies for everyone to\nenjoy, face painting for the kids, and winter crafts in the fire barn for those\nwho want to make something to take home to the family. The First Presbyterian\nChurch music group also sings Christmas songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, attendees could enjoy winter carnival games, horse\ndrawn sleigh rides, and refreshments in Dr. West Park. If you had a child who\nwas a toddler or in preschool, they could be entered to win a free bike through\nthe raffle! Even the Fire Department and Police Department could get in on the\nfun through their Chili Cook-Off! When all as said and done, the tree would be\nlighted and the festivities would end, marking another successful event in\nChittenango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did Chittenango Family Dental Participate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chittenangodental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/24232142_1484938404960215_2146919729879529457_n.jpg\" alt=\"The Chittenango Family Dental table.\" class=\"wp-image-21\" width=\"304\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chittenangodental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/24232142_1484938404960215_2146919729879529457_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.chittenangodental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/24232142_1484938404960215_2146919729879529457_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much to do, you might be wondering what Chittenango\nFamily Dental\u2019s role was in all of this. Upon arriving, our team set up a table\ncomplete with a \u201cpeppermint prize wheel\u201d to win all sorts of fun prizes from\nour office! Kids could win glow-in-the-dark bouncy balls, glowsticks, slap\nbracelets and noise putty! We\u2019re very happy to be a part of the tree lighting\nceremony and can\u2019t wait to join again next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Chance to Give Back to Those in Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With any event that the practice joins, we want to make sure\nthat it\u2019s working to help the community in some way as well. That\u2019s why when we\nlearned that the event organizers planned to accept donations of canned and\nnon-perishable food at their information booth, we got even more excited to get\ninvolved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a dental practice doesn\u2019t only mean providing dental\ncare to our friendly neighbors. It also means being an active part of events\nlocal to the area, especially when they involve giving back in ways that truly\nmatter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t scheduled your next dental appointment yet,\nwe hope you\u2019ll choose us as your new dental home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chittenangodental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Ahmed Badawy<\/a>\nis always happy to participate in community events that bring everyone together,\nespecially when they are for a good cause.
