The Edison Recreation Department announced that its 28th annual holiday show for Edison children ages 2 years through eighth grade will be held 6-7 p.m. Dec. 2 at Herbert Hoover Middle School, 174 Jackson Ave. Each child must be accompanied by an adult (one adult per child). Featured will be “Magical Wonderland,” a holiday adventure with dance and magic. Performing at the holiday show will be Yvonne’s School of Dance and the magicians from the Harry Blackstone Magic Society.
The event will coincide with the annual township tree lighting, which will take place in front of the Heritage at Clara Barton on Amboy Avenue and Third Street. The lighting will take place at 7:30 p.m., following the holiday show.
