The New York Mills Christmas Tree Festival is underway at the city ballroom. The event features dozens of decorated trees (right) that line the ballroom through the NY Mills Lions Club Community Christmas Party on Saturday. The week long festival kicked off on Saturday morning with a visit from Santa Claus (middle right), as well as arts and crafts (bottom right). Tree viewing and a number of events are being planned throughout the week as part of the annual celebration.
