EASTON, Pa. – The peace candle is shining bright and the holiday spirit is on full display in downtown Easton.<\/p>\n
“Another year for the holiday season, that’s what it marks,” said Tony Klapatch, of Easton.<\/p>\n
It was Klapatch’s fifth peace candle lighting Saturday night.<\/p>\n
“So great honestly, so energetic, just amazing. I don’t know how to describe it in words. When you look up at the candle and see it, it’s amazing,” said Klapatch.<\/p>\n
The peace candle is in the center of Easton’s Winter Village which features multiple local small businesses.<\/p>\n
It is a tradition Allison said she is sharing with her cousins who traveled in from Atlanta.<\/p>\n
“I’ve basically been coming here since I was really little and I really love to look at like the vendors and stuff that are here,” said Allison.<\/p>\n
For Sherisse Brown, it was her first time here.<\/p>\n
“I’m definitely in the holiday spirit,” said Brown.<\/p>\n
“It’s definitely family fun for the kids,” said Michael Wilson.<\/p>\n
It is a holiday environment Adi Kovatch said reminds her of a movie.<\/p>\n
“It was really cool. I like the countdown, I like the singing,” said Kovatch.<\/p>\n
“I mean it’s good. It only gets better. Definitely, it’s welcoming,” said Delilah Nugent.<\/p>\n
A welcoming sight shining bright for all to enjoy this holiday season.<\/p>\n
“Every year it’s incredible. I mean you can’t miss it,” said Klapatch.<\/p>\n
