The Drive-Up Lights of Hickory Hills was recently held where more than 30 families in cars enjoyed holiday music, the activation of the city holiday lights and a surprise visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.  

Special thanks to Public Works Director Sue Lehr and the entire public works team for helping stage this creative event, Alderman Debbie Ferrero and the Community Affairs Committee members who continue to volunteer their time and creativity at community events, and Clerk Dee Catizone and her office for helping with phone reservations for the event.

Be sure to drive by the park next to city hall at night as it never has looked better.
