NORWAY – A trio of new Christmas trees will be lit Saturday when people gather at the Robert J. Butters Park at Main and Water streets at 5 p.m. for the ceremony.

Bonnie Seames of Oxford, daughter of the late fire Chief Robert Butters, for whom the park is named, said last year’s tree simply got too big to decorate.

“We always did that great big tree until it got so big we couldn’t get into it even with the ladder truck,” she said.

Three new trees were planted in front of the large one and those will be decorated and lit Saturday.

The ceremony will mark the end of a day-long celebration of Christmas that begins with the Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade at 11 a.m. and the greeting of Santa in the Norway Fire Station on Danforth Street afterward.

The parade begins on High Street in Paris, travels down Main Street, then into Norway on Paris and Main streets. Portions of routes 26, 117 and 118 will be blocked to through traffic during the parade so drivers should seek alternative routes.
