This Week in Easton, December 10 to 13

Most Easton area municipalities are finalizing budgets and plans for 2013, so in between shopping for holiday gifts (locally, we hope!), civic engagement is definitely one recommended activity this week. But with some good opportunities to go dancing or take in some live music, not to mention a comedy show, there's plenty of fun and celebration happening too.

And of course, we wish a happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate the festival of lights this week--not only is the menorah lit each evening on Centre Square, but there's an event at the Easton Senior Center on Tuesday evening as well.
